Chronology
PredecessorBMW 5 Series (G30)
BMW 6 Series (G32)

TheBMW 5 Series (G60)is anexecutive carmanufactured and marketed by German luxury automakerBMWsince 2023. The lineup consists of the G60saloon,G61estate(marketed asTouring), and the G68 long-wheelbase sedan. It represents the eighth generation of theBMW 5 Series,succeeding theG30 modeland theG32 6 Seriesliftback.

The G60 was officially revealed on 24 May 2023, began production on 21 July 2023, with sales commencing in October. Built upon an updated version of the rear-wheel driveCluster Architecture (CLAR)platform, shared with the largerG70 7 Series,it is significantly larger than any of its predecessors. The eighth generation BMW 5 Series is also offered with abattery electricpowertrain, called the "i5". Three models are offered; the entry-level, rear-wheel-drive eDrive40 model, the mid-range, all-wheel-drive xDrive40, and the range topping M60 xDrive model.

A long-wheelbase saloon model (G68) exclusive to China debuted in August 2023 and it is assembled at theDadongplant.[1]The G61 5 Series Touring was unveiled in February 2024.[2]The fastback derivative, the6 Series Gran Turismohas been discontinued.

Development

[edit]

Testing

[edit]

In February 2022, testing of the i5 commenced when engineers drove it from Munich to the test centre in Arjeplog. It had to cover about 1,850 miles (2,980 km) to northern Sweden before undergoing additional testing throughout the year. Prototypes were assessed in and around Munich and in the vicinity of the Dingolfing factory.[3]The testing was implemented to evaluate the efficiency of its electric motors, power electronics, high-voltage battery and integrated heating and cooling system for the cabin and battery pack. The development and test engineers chose Arjeplog as the final destination for their testing programme. The snow-covered roads and frozen lakes in northern Sweden, featuring expansive ice surfaces, offered an optimal environment to assess the interactions among chassis components, steering and braking systems, and driving dynamic and stability systems in extreme outdoor conditions.[4]

Following the testing in Arjeplog, the BMW i5 underwent further testing throughout 2022. This included assessments at various BMW Group test facilities and real-world driving scenarios in and around Munich, as well as in the vicinity of BMW Group Plant Dingolfing. The focus during this phase was on continual refinement of the car's chassis technology and acoustic properties across multiple conditions. Additionally, efforts were directed toward fine-tuning the power delivery of the drive unit to ensure a well-rounded driving experience. A deliberate part of the development involved testing during colder months on icy and snowy roads in the Alpine foothills. In the winter of 2022, BMW i5 prototypes, featuring reduced camouflage and near-production headlights, were regularly deployed for testing to verify the functionality and reliability of the powertrain and chassis control systems under extremely challenging road and weather conditions. BMW engineers overseeing the project were able to directly assess the current state of development through testing in Bavaria before returning to endurance testing near the Arctic Circle in February 2023.[4]

Launch

[edit]

The 5 Series was revealed in i5 form on 24 May 2023.[5][6][7][8]The long-wheelbase model, designatedG68and made exclusively for China, was unveiled on 8 August 2023.[9][10]The 5 Series began production on 21 July 2023 at theDingolfingplant, followed by its battery electric counterpart four days later.[11][12]Sales began in October. The estate model began production on 1 March 2024.[13]

BMW 520d Touring

The basis for the G60 5 Series is an updated version ofBMW's Cluster Architecture(CLAR) platform. It is the same structure that underpins all BMW models featuring either a longitudinally mounted combustion engine or electric drivetrain.[19]Compared to its predecessor, the G60 is 97 mm (3.8 in) longer, 33 mm (1.3 in) wider and 36 mm (1.4 in) taller, while its wheelbase has been extended by 20 mm (0.79 in).[5]This makes the G60 longer than the 2000sE65 7 Series.[20]The G61 Touring is 97 mm (3.8 in) longer, 32 mm (1.3 in) wide, and 17 mm (0.67 in) taller than the previous generation. It also features the longest wheelbase in its class at 2,995 mm (117.9 in).[21]

Thedrag coefficientis 0.22–0.23 across the range, aided by an air flap control that opens intakes in the grille to add up to 16 mi (26 km) to the range, while an air curtain tidies up the air flow past the front wheels. Lightweight “air performance” wheels with inserts also help incrementally reduce emissions and enhance range.[22][23]The surfacing along the rest of the car is neater than before, with flush-fitting door handles, a sloping boot lid and a closed-off underbody.[24]

The new platform features adouble-wishbonefront suspension on coil springs andmultilink rear suspensionon air springs,[5]as well as a torque vectoring system known as near-actuator wheel slip limitation.[25]

Four-wheel steering(Integral Active Steering) that turns the rear-wheels by up to 2.5 degrees is optional,[26]as areactive anti-roll barsand adaptive dampers.[5]

Interior and equipment

[edit]
Interior with the updatediDrive8.5 infotainment system and the BMW Interaction Bar.

The G60 5 Series is the first BMW to feature the updatediDrive8.5 infotainment system based on theLinuxoperating system. The interface is accessed via the BMW Curved Display that combines the 310 mm (12.3 in)instrument clusterand 380 mm (14.9 in)infotainment systemwith a redesigned touch interface within a single unit. The operating system offers additional digital content, including a range of video streaming options and some in-car gaming features via theAirConsole,a free app that uses the smartphone as a controller for the suite of apps on offer.[20]

The BMW Interaction Bar, which debuted in theG70 7 Series,is an optional feature on the base models and standard on the i5. It adds touch-sensitive control points for air conditioning and thehazard light,[20]and a slim, backlit control panel that runs across the entire dashboard and into the front doors.[27]

The G60 5 Series is offered as fully leather-free for the first time. That treatment, which includes Alcantara-wrapped seats and steering wheel, is also available on models with the more aggressive M Sport pack equipped. Sporty seats are standard equipment on most of the G60 5 Series models, but multi-contour seats are standard on the i5 M60 (and can be opted for on other models).[20]

BMW calls its driver-assist option Driving Assistant Professional which includes Steering and Lane Control Assist and Distance Control, with Stop & Go function.[28]This system, which still requires the driver to hold the steering wheel as it "drives" the 5 Series, comes with Active Lane Change Assistant. The system makes suggestion on how to change lanes to move around slower traffic, but won't act until the driver's eye looks at the corresponding mirror.[5]

In markets where regulations permit (United States, Canada and Germany), the Highway Assistant can relieve the driver of steering tasks on highways with structurally divided lanes at up to 130 km/h (81 mph).[28]

The boot of the G60 5 Series has a volume of 520 L (18 cu ft) for both the pure combustion-engine and plug-in hybrid models, which is 10 L (0.35 cu ft) smaller compared to theprevious model.Wheel sizes range from 19- to 21-inches.[29]The G61 Touring features the same 570 L (20 cu ft) storage capacity that extends to 1,700 L (60 cu ft) with the rear seats folded down as its predecessor.[21]Unlike its predecessors, the G61 Touring no longer features the independent rear glass opening feature on the rear tailgate, as the rear end features a more coupe-like design to improve the coefficient drag and the boot volume is not compromised.[30]

Powertrain

[edit]

The G60 5 Series is offered with a range of 48-voltmild hybridturbocharged petrolanddieselengines,plug-in hybridmodels as well asall-electrici5 models.[31]All models except the all-electric models are fitted as standard with theZF 8HP8-speed automatic transmission produced byZF Friedrichshafen.Rear-wheel driveis standard, while BMW'sxDriveall-wheel drive system is optional on some base models and is standard fitment on top-of-the-line models.[32]

The G60 is primarily available with 2.0 litrefour cylinderengines with 48 V mild hybrid technology with anintegrated starter-generator,integrated into the transmission. Plug-in hybrid models feature apermanent-magnet synchronous motor,paired with an 19.4kWhlithium-ion battery.The range-topping M560e is available with the 3.0 litresix-cylinderengine.

The 530e PHEV model's all-electric range is 87–101 km (54–63 mi), while the 550e PHEV's all electric range is 79–90 km (49–56 mi). For both models, the fully electric modes let the driver cruise below speeds of 140 km/h (87 mph).[33]

[edit]
2024 BMW i5 (G60)
2025 BMW i5 Touring (G61)

TheBMW i5andBMW i5 Touringarebattery electricmodels of the 5 Series (G60/G61). The i5 saloon was announced in May 2023 with the conventional G60 5 Series,[25]while the i5 Touring was unveiled in February 2024.[2]It is built at the sameDingolfingassembly lineas units with combustion engines and plug-in hybrids.[25]

An in-house developed electric motor paired with an 84.3 kWh battery pack makes for 250 kW (340 PS; 335 hp) and 400 N⋅m (295 lb⋅ft) (or 430 N⋅m (317 lb⋅ft) when Sport Boost or Launch Control is active) sent to the rear wheels of the i5 eDrive40,[25]while the addition of an extra electric motor up front on the i5 M60 xDrive allows for 442 kW (601 PS; 593 hp) and 795 N⋅m (586 lb⋅ft) sent to all four wheels (or up to 820 N⋅m (605 lb⋅ft) with Sport Boost or M Launch Control activated).[28]This electric motor is part of BMW’s fifth-generation e-drive kit, utilizing a current-excitedsynchronous machinethat eliminates the need for permanent magnets and rare earth.[45]The motors themselves are positioned in the axles, and the axles also house the one-speed transmissions and power electronics. The M60 also gets standard adaptive suspension, a 7.62 mm (0.300 in) lower ride height than the base model, and upgraded brakes.[46]

The i5 can adjust itsbraking energy regenerationbased on battery level and traffic situation, though the driver can manually select low, medium, or high braking regeneration as well.[25]A new Max Range mode optimize the remaining charge in the battery up to 25 percent by limiting top speed to 90 km/h (56 mph) and shuts down the climate control, the heated and cooled seats, and the heated steering wheel.[5]

The onboard Combined Charging Unit (CCU) supportsACcharging at up to 11 kW as standard, or up to 22 kW as an option.DC fast chargingis supported at up to 205 kW, which can take the battery from 10 to 80 percent in about 30 minutes.[28]BMW introduced a "Plug & Charge" function that automatically authenticates itself and eliminates the need for account access through the provider’s app or card at compatible public charging stations.[47]Customers can store up to five individual Plug & Charge-enabled accounts from different providers in BMW’s iDrive system.[48]

Batteries are packed below the floor, inside the centre tunnel and under the rear seats.[49]The 84.3 kWh high-voltage battery is composed of four modules with 72 battery cells each and three modules with 12 cells each.[47]It is a 400-volt lithium-ion battery, which has a 211 amp-hour capacity.[50]Due to electrical components such as the battery and motor, boot space decreases from 520 L (18 cu ft) on the pure combustion-engine and plug-in hybrid models to 490 L (17 cu ft) on the i5 saloon.[51][52]However, the i5 Touring features the same storage capacity as its pure combustion-engine and plug-in hybrid models, 570 L (20 cu ft) of storage capacity that extends to 1,700 L (60 cu ft) with the rear seats folded down.[21]

Models

[edit]

Models introduced at launch include the high-performanceAWDM60 andRWDmodel eDrive40.[5]The xDrive40, a mid-range AWD model, was announced in early February 2024 as a 2025 model for the saloon model.[53]Later in February 2024, the BMW i5 Touring was launched with the M60 and eDrive40 variants, while the xDrive40 is expected for late 2024.[21]
