BMW i5 eDrive40 M Sport
The BMW i5 eDrive40 M Sport is an electric saloon; we do not yet have enough measured data to identify how it differs from its rivals.
By eight years on the road it should still hold about 84% of its battery health, roughly 362 km of real-world range, which is a useful yardstick if you’re buying used. What owners say: Owners report superb motorway refinement and stability, describing it as more relaxing than a Tesla Model 3. Many owners highlight cabin cost-cutting: unlined door pockets, missing sill plates, one wireless charging pad and cheaper stalks than the previous 5 Series.

What Owners Say
BalancedOwners Love
- Owners report superb motorway refinement and stability, describing it as more relaxing than a Tesla Model 3.
- The composed ride and good balance for its size give it the driving feel of a proper 5 Series.
- Owners find real-world range better than expected, reporting about 220-280 miles in winter and over 300 in summer with the eDrive40.
Watch Out For
- Many owners highlight cabin cost-cutting: unlined door pockets, missing sill plates, one wireless charging pad and cheaper stalks than the previous 5 Series.
- Its considerable length and width make parking and narrow roads difficult.
- Useful features including adaptive cruise control, surround cameras and rear heated seats were bundled into expensive option packs.
Owner Tips
- For range and ride quality, choose 19-inch rather than 20-inch wheels.
- Check a used car’s option packs, as adaptive cruise and surround cameras were not standard equipment.
- The eDrive40 delivers most of the M60’s driving experience at a much lower price.
