Best Looking EV | 2025 BMW i5 xDRIVE40 | POV Review

The 2025 BMW i5 is an amazing looking EV but the best part about it is it kinda looks like a normal gas powered BMW.
The i5 looks like any other car BMW would make it just happens to be an EV which is the best part of it. The i5 xDrive40 looks like pure class the style of it looks modern without going over board like some of the designs we see on some of these other EV's. The M sport package is almost a must have for the i5 it doesn't give you any extra performance but its gives you a load of features that make it worth the money.
The inside the i5 is where we find all of its personality something that is important if the exhaust sound is missing. The ambient lighting is next level we had a high quality light strip from end to end. The theme and the overall feeling of the car changes with every drive mode. I also took this on a small road trip and for the first time I actually used the built in navigation because its that good. Overall the i5 xDrive40 is one of the best EV's ive driven this year.

Thanks for the review! Did testdrive the eDrive40 (rwd) for myself and was almost completely satisfied with how the car turned out. Currently driving an model3 performance which lease plan ends in 7 months, so I'm looking for a successor now. So many cars which felt not right in terms of technical advance or ergonomics. Only car that could keep up would be the Nio ET7.

Looking at i5 to replace my Tesla M3 AWD. The i4 seems like a great value but smaller. I test drove the i5 and decided that is the one for me. Maybe I will turn-in my lease early and take advantage of year-end BWM incentives in USA…

I have a Tesla Model 3 AWD long range, and have been test driving other EVs in hopes of replacing the Tesla. The only car that compares is the BMW i5. I’m conflicted, though, as the pricing is so much higher for the BMW. It is more luxurious, but the handling no better. I would only buy the single motor rear wheel drive i5 for pricing reasons. Sitting on the fence.

[@technicallycars]

The pricing is tough I only drove a 2021 Tesla Model 3 and I think I would still go i5 just because the i5 feels more like a car and not just an appliance

What about the i4?

@ Not nearly as smooth a ride and the interior is cluttered for my taste.
