2024 BMW i5 eDrive40 G60 Tanzanite Blue
More dynamic than ever, featuring a wealth of digital innovations and, for the first time ever, available fully electric - this is the new BMW 5-Series. In the form of the all-electric BMW i5, the latest edition of the celebrated BMW 5-Series takes the lead on the road to sustainable premium mobility. The eighth generation of the BMW 5-Series continues to stand for advanced technology combined with sporty, elegant design, and the performance and comfort only a BMW can deliver.
The global market launch of the new BMW 5-Series will begin in October 2023. The new generation will be offered worldwide with an allelectric drivetrain, while the flexible architecture also accommodates highly efficient internal combustion engines with 48-volt mild hybrid technology and, coming to the US in 2024, plug-in hybrid system.
The segment benchmark continues a long success story
The success story of the BMW 5-Series dates back to 1972, when the first generation of the sporty and elegant four-door sedan was presented. Since then, the worldwide popularity of the BMW 5-Series has steadily increased. With its unmistakable combination of dynamic performance and high level of long-distance comfort, it became the epitome of the business sedan. By the spring of 2023, more than ten million BMW 5-Series had been produced.
Traditional production site celebrates anniversary
Like all previous generations, the new BMW 5-Series is manufactured at Plant Dingolfing, BMW's largest European plant, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary. In 1973, the first vehicle manufactured at this location was a first-generation E12 5-Series. Today, the BMW Group plant in Dingolfing is not only the lead plant for BMW's luxury class vehicles, but also the location of the company's e-drive production competence center, which produces both the electric motors and the highvoltage batteries for the BMW i5 on site.
Sporty, elegant sedan at the heart of the brand portfolio
The exterior design of the new generation reinterprets the sporty elegance of a BMW 5-Series in the brand's current design language. With its distinctive appearance, the new BMW 5-Series is right at the center of the brand's portfolio of four-door models - more present and elegant than the 3-Series, more dynamic and sporty than the 7-Series.
The heightened presence of the new BMW 5-Series is underscored by the athletic proportions and the larger exterior dimensions compared to the previous generation. The new model has grown in length by 3.4 inches to 199.2, in width by 1.3 inches to 74.8 and in height by 1.4 inches to 59.6. The wheelbase has been increased by 0.8 inches to 117.9 and improves seating comfort, especially in the rear.
