2024 BMW i5

More dynamic than ever, featuring a wealth of digital innovations and, for the first time ever, available fully electric – this is the new BMW 5-Series. In the form of the all-electric BMW i5, the latest edition of the celebrated BMW 5-Series takes the lead on the road to sustainable premium mobility. The eighth generation of the BMW 5-Series continues to stand for advanced technology combined with sporty, elegant design, and the performance and comfort only a BMW can deliver.

The global market launch of the new BMW 5-Series will begin in October 2023. The new generation will be offered worldwide with an allelectric drivetrain, while the flexible architecture also accommodates highly efficient internal combustion engines with 48-volt mild hybrid technology and, coming to the US in 2024, plug-in hybrid system.

The success story of the BMW 5-Series dates back to 1972, when the first generation of the sporty and elegant four-door sedan was presented. Since then, the worldwide popularity of the BMW 5-Series has steadily increased. With its unmistakable combination of dynamic performance and high level of long-distance comfort, it became the epitome of the business sedan. By the spring of 2023, more than ten million BMW 5-Series had been produced.

Like all previous generations, the new BMW 5-Series is manufactured at Plant Dingolfing, BMW‘s largest European plant, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary. In 1973, the first vehicle manufactured at this location was a first-generation E12 5-Series. Today, the BMW Group plant in Dingolfing is not only the lead plant for BMW’s luxury class vehicles, but also the location of the company’s e-drive production competence center, which produces both the electric motors and the highvoltage batteries for the BMW i5 on site.
