Video Summary
Here's a summary of the video review about the electric car:- The new BMW 5 Series debuts a gaming console to keep occupants entertained while charging.
- Its front end has a normal BMW grill.
- With boost activated, it has 593 horsepower.
- It's a tech-fest: electrified, all-wheel drive, and all-wheel steering.
- The car's starting price is over $85,000 in the USA and over $98,000 in Canada.
- While being more powerful than the M550i, it is replacing the slot the M550i once occupied.
- It has an explosion sound as you accelerate, like the Hummer EV.
- At 0-60 it goes just over 3 and a half seconds.
- After about a 40%-50% battery drain, there is a significant drop in performance.
- It has a double wishbone in front and a multi-link rear suspension.
- Due to its electric nature, the car has air springs in the back.
- All anti-roll bars are powered.
- A major concern: it’s hard to turn the traction control off.
- Lacking air-con vents made the car age badly, and it can feel cheaper with a high-end model.
- The car runs on Vaganza vegan leather.
- At a glance, the new 5 Series has changed a bit.

- The reviewer says this car has a tendency to lean into corners.
- There's a sizable trunk; it can be accessed through the back seats, which do not go fully flat.
