PHOTO: CarBuyerThe BMW 5 Series sedan is one of the pillars of the German brand. A car that, since its introduction in 1972, has gone on to personify both the luxury and sports sedan all in one package.
Also good news is that even though the front end's kidney grilles are bigger than before they do not approach the giant nostril sizes of the BMW i7 and i4. This is an EV, so actually there is very little active cooling required as there's no engine under the bonnet. So essentially, the front ends of the BMW EVs like this one and also the iX are all about brand identity over functionality.
But this is an electric car and doesn't need an exhaust pipe nor centre propeller shaft, yet the hump remains. As it has been since forever, it does impede the use of the centre seat on the rear bench a little, but there is plenty of legroom overall and the full-length glass moonroof on the test car further adds to the airy feel in the back.
The base model of the i5 is the eDrive40, featuring just a single electric motor over the rear axle and driving the rear wheels. Like an electric radio controlled model car, most full-size EVs do not have multi-speed gearboxes and how fast the wheels are going is a direct relation with how fast the motor is turning, with perhaps a set of reduction gears that help to amplify torque.
