Overview
The BMW i5 is the electric G60 5 Series executive sedan, launched in 2023. It suits buyers who want a five-seat premium sedan with long range rather than an SUV: the rear-wheel-drive eDrive40 M Sport Pro reaches 627 km. Prices start from RM368,800, while the all-wheel-drive M60 xDrive supplies far more power.
i5 in 2026 — what's new
For 2026, the i5 eDrive40 M Sport Pro becomes Malaysia’s first locally assembled BMW EV. It starts at RM368,800, RM32,000 cheaper than before. No 2026-specific M60 xDrive revision is announced, so it carries on alongside the CKD eDrive40. The range spans a 335 hp rear-drive eDrive40 with 627 km range and a 592 hp all-wheel-drive M60 with 516 km.

Which variant to buy
Most buyers should choose the RM368,800 eDrive40 M Sport Pro. Its 83.9 kWh battery matches the M60’s, it travels 627 km rather than 516 km, and its 335 hp rear-wheel-drive layout avoids a six-figure spend. The RM479,800 M60 xDrive costs RM111,000 more for 592 hp and all-wheel drive. Pay that extra only if the additional power and driven front wheels matter more than range and budget.

BMW i5 buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The i5 delivers the central promise of an electric 5 Series: the G60 5 Series remains alive and well in EV form. The eDrive40’s 627 km range makes the stronger case for most owners. It undercuts the Mercedes-Benz EQE and BMW i4 M50, but costs more than the Volvo ES90. The M60’s extra performance comes with a RM111,000 step up and a shorter 516 km range.
