Is the BMW i5 a good electric car?

[@DrWildebeest]

In the US. I bought the i5 M60 and it’s a great car. Perfect for commuting, shopping, and errands. Very comfortable and the Bowers & Wilkins stereo has really good sound.

I5 is a great car. It mainly needs a bigger battery. Otherwise it seems pretty good.

With a bigger battery will have even worse consumption. BMW need to develop separate platforms for their EV

[@MADDGAMMER]

@@xXxM4nuxXxthey are already doing that. It’s called neue klasse

[@xXxM4nuxXx]

@@MADDGAMMER As of now, I’m not aware of any plans to use the Neue Klasse platform on future i5 or i7, will be just for i4/iX4 and below. Theoretically can be used also for full size sedans but is not yet clear if they will use this one ore a new platform for next i5 and i7.

I love this car. All though it shout have been built on a bespoke EV architecture rather than a shared platform, I really really like it. I think I’m going to get the i5 touring.

Thanks for the video. Having to reset the regen level every time you use reverse seems crazy. Convenient that you can turn off speed limit easily. (Try that in a recent Kia!) Your frequent use of the word awesome is ... truly awesome! If on an ICE platform, that suggests there is still a transmission tunnel for rear passengers to deal with.

Thanks for the review!

If BMW shortened the nose and used the space diffently it would be one of the biggest cars inside :)

Good overview! If you still have the car, could you test the parking assistant and the saved parking maneuvers? There aren’t any good videos showing if it works for parking in really narrow garages.

Marin, hast Du auch die Beschleunigungs-Zeiten bis 180 und 200 km/h gemessen?

[@abraxastulammo9940]

13:08 Nice! 🤭

[@TheMan-jz5te]

Still a city car Need a bigger battery

[@mtumasz]

If you can afford a vehicle in this class, you don’t ever need to drive 600km without stopping. Diesels with 1000+ km range are for poor people with unhealthy lifestyles.

@@mtumasz 600 km on German autobahns, you won’t blink an eye :) If you stop every 350 km, you will drive foreveк 🤔

Kannst du mir bitte dem name, von das selbst streuer system.. ohne hände am rad und nur in den seiten mirror sehen, und die auto shift lane.. Sorry for my bad deutsh

[@WOKEBY]

Die Funktion heißt Autobahnassistent (S05AX) und zusätzlich brauchst du noch Driving Assistant Professional (S05AU) 😉

[@abraxastulammo9940]

230 wh/km is much more than wltp 😇

[@user-ys4og2vv8k]

As usual, nothing about the actual driving and handling on the road, just babbling about electronics and its gimmicks...

[@BatteryLife]

No, you haven't watched the video. Half of it is driving and how it feels. As usual...

[@user-ys4og2vv8k]

@@BatteryLife Sure I have. In 20 minutes it was said in one sentence that it is quiet and comfortable and in another that it corners well... 😜 Otherwise, the potential viewer should know that with this flood of EV reviews, there are actually very few car reviewers, mostly they are techno geeks who test the car very much like a new mobile phone or laptop, they say a lot about the car's electronics and almost nothing about driving a car.
