2024 BMW i5 EDrive40

The 2024 i5 is BMW's electric answer to the 5 Series, a midsize luxury sedan that competes with the Tesla Model S and Mercedes EQE. It drives like a proper BMW, with sharp steering and a planted feel that makes the i5 genuinely engaging on a back road. The ride is on the firm side, especially with the larger wheels, but it stays composed over most surfaces. Inside, you get a roomy cabin with supportive seats and a clean, tech-forward layout that's easy to live with daily. Rear-wheel drive and a single electric motor set the eDrive40 apart from the all-wheel-drive M60, and it's the more efficient pick of the two. The electric motor makes 335 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, and with 295 miles of range it's the one to choose if you want to go further between charges. This trim rides on standard 19-inch wheels, so expect a slightly softer ride than the M60's larger rims.
