The 2024 BMW i5 eDrive40 is the rear-wheel-drive base model of the all-electric i5, the battery-electric branch of the G60 5 Series introduced for 2024. A single fifth-generation excited-synchronous motor on the rear axle makes 335 hp and a US-quoted 295 lb-ft (430 N·m with boost), drawing on an 84.3-kWh (81.2 kWh usable) lithium-ion pack for an EPA-rated 295 miles of range and a 105-MPGe combined efficiency rating. BMW claims 0-62 mph in 5.7 seconds and a 120-mph top speed, while the onboard charger accepts up to 11 kW AC and up to 205 kW DC, for a 10-80% fast-charge in roughly 30 minutes. Sharing its body with the gasoline 5 Series, it pairs conventional executive-sedan packaging—five seats and a 17.3-cubic-foot trunk—with a US starting price of $67,795.
