BMW has revealed its all-new 5 Series, which goes all-electric for the first time...
A new BMW 5 Series is always a big deal, but having said that it's a model that transitions gently. There have been seven versions so far, and as a general rule, a 5 Series is a 5 Series is a 5 Series... But now we’re on the verge of the eighth-gen 5 Series, and almost unarguably this is the most significant change of them all. Because some of them aren't even called a 5, but rather i5. Yes, my friends, this will be the first all-electric BMW 5 Series.
The M60’s front and rear power split is 261hp and 340hp, while system torque is 586lb ft. That increases to 605lb ft when the driver activates either M Sport Boost or M Launch Control. M Sport Boost also appears on the eDrive40, and it’s activated by holding the paddle on the left side of the steering wheel for an eighth of a second.
If the charger is powerful enough, the i5 will charge at up to 205kW DC, which means you could be back up and running with a 10-80 per cent boost in 30 minutes. The first 10 minutes of that will add up to 97 miles.
