The upcoming luxury electric car is expected to come in two configurations: entry-level eDrive40 with a single rear axle-mounted motor producing 335 hp peak power and a more powerful M60 xDrive with a dual motor electric powertrain churning out 590 hp maximum power. The automaker has not revealed anything regarding the range of the Ev or its battery capacity. However, the BMW i5 eDrive40 will likely offer a 474 km range on a single charge, while the more potent M60 would offer more. Also, the company may even expand the lineup beyond the two trims after launch.

Besides the pure electric i5, the next-generation 5-Series sedan will also be available in plug-in hybrid form. There will be an M5 high-performance iteration of the car as well.
