BMW i5 Price & Specs
BMW i5 Overview
The BMW i5 brings traditional 5 Series executive-car polish to an electric drivetrain, offered in Australia as the rear-drive eDrive40 sedan, the dual-motor M60 xDrive sedan, and the M60 xDrive Touring - the most expensive 5 Series and wagon BMW sells locally.

Standard kit includes a panoramic glass roof, Bowers & Wilkins audio, adaptive LED headlights and a five-year Chargefox subscription.
