Video Summary

Here's a summary of the BMW i5 review:

The i5 eDrive40 rear-wheel drive gets 335 brake. It does 0-62 mph in 6 seconds and WLTP tests put the range up to 354 miles. Prices start under £68,000. The interior of the i5 is a smart, comfortable place up front. The base sport model gets wireless phone charging and BMW's curved display with the latest operating system 8 software. Rear seat space is a good as the comfort and space in the back. Boot space is decent at 490 liters, plus cable storage under the boot floor. However, there is no frunk. Rapid charging is up to 205kW; meaning the 81kWh usable battery will be charged to 80% in under 30 minutes. The i5 does feel like a fast car. It’s great to drive. Road handling and riding balance well and is easy to jump in. One gripe is brake recuperation, which has three modes that have to be changed through the screen. Also, it can get a bit ahead of itself with traffic up ahead.
