BMW i5

The 2027 BMW i5 starts at $67,100 MSRP for the i5 eDrive40 and runs to $84,100 for the i5 M60 xDrive across the 3 configurations we track. With BMW's $1,450 destination fee, that comes to $68,550 to $85,550 before tax, registration and options. By trim: i5 eDrive40, $67,100 ($68,550 with the destination fee); i5 xDrive40, $70,100 ($71,550 with the destination fee); i5 M60 xDrive, $84,100 ($85,550 with the destination fee).

The BMW i5 offers EPA-estimated range between 259 and 328 miles, depending on trim and wheel size. Real-world highway range at 70 mph is typically 10–15% lower than the EPA rating, and cold-weather range can drop an additional 20–30% in sub-freezing temperatures.

The BMW i5 hits 0-60 mph in 3.7 to 5.4 seconds depending on configuration — 3.7 seconds is the quickest of the 3 configurations we track. That quickest configuration is in supercar-acceleration territory thanks to electric motors' instant torque.

On a DC fast charger, the BMW i5 goes from 10% to 80% in roughly 30 minutes. At home on a Level 2 charger (240V), a full charge takes about 9 hours. A standard 120V outlet (Level 1) adds only about 4–5 miles of range an hour (from EPA efficiency, depending on the trim), so it suits overnight top-ups rather than full charges.

Yes — the BMW i5 is offered in both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations. RWD trims are typically less expensive and slightly more efficient; AWD trims add a second motor for better traction in snow/rain and faster acceleration.

No. The federal Clean Vehicle Credit (IRC §30D) expired on September 30, 2025 under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act — no new EVs purchased on or after October 1, 2025 qualify. State incentives remain available: see our /deals page for current rebates in California, Maine, Colorado, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and other states. The Section 30C EV Charger Tax Credit (for home charger installation) expired June 30, 2026 — if your charger was placed in service on or before that date, you can still claim it (30% up to $1,000) on your 2026 return via IRS Form 8911.

Real-world data from EV fleets suggests modern lithium-ion EV batteries (2020+) retain roughly 85–90% of their original capacity at 100,000 miles and 80–85% at 200,000 miles.

We don't have battery-warranty terms for the BMW i5 on file yet, so check the BMW warranty booklet for this model. Among the EV battery warranties we track, most run 8 or 10 years and at least 100,000 miles, and the guaranteed capacity floor varies by maker: 70% is the most common, some guarantee 75%, and a few state no floor at all.
