The all-electric i5 boasts 600hp and will cost you six figures. Can it live up to either number in the UK?
Despite everything else currently offered by the behemoth that is 21st-century BMW, the four-doors remain vitally important. They’re not going anywhere, either, with concepts likepreviewing what will happen to the 3 Series in years to come. For now, the most significant BMW saloon is, or G60; there’s been a 5 in the lineup for more than 50 years.
You'd imagine there will be fewer complaints about the interior, at least - assuming you're not dissuaded by the one-piece screen. The latest BMW Operating System 8.5 is intuitive, the displays are crystal clear and features like the Interaction Bar - a customisable strip running across the dash - add something different. Mercifully, there’s still a dial for the iDrive, and, being a BMW, the wheel still comes out to your chest and the seat drops rump right down to the road.
Up the pace just a little, however, and the M60 reveals itself to be what we’d always hoped it would be: a 5 Series. Only the best sorted one yet. This isn’t a car for barrelling into corners with no regard for entry speed instead, it’s one that rewards going in a tiny bit slower to take advantage of great balance through the bend and monster traction on the way out.
On the motorway, appropriately enough, the i5 is supreme. In the best tradition of big German cars, it wants to cosset you. Naturally, it can overtake without hesitation, and there seems precious little wind or tyre noise, and the seats are superb. Good news, surely, for anyone destined to spend lots of miles trekking up and down the country in any kind of G60 BMW.
