BMW has a new trim for the i5 electric sedan for 2025 that splits the difference between the entry-level i5 sDrive40 and the hotter i5 M60. The i5 xDrive40 has two electric motors, just like the M60, but it makes a lot less power.
The xDrive40 delivers a combined 389 horsepower and 435 pound-feet of torque to all four wheels. That’s quite a bit less than the 593-hp output of the M60. BMW says the xDrive40 can hit 60 miles per hour in 5.2 seconds, versus 3.7 seconds for the M-badged car, and reach a 130-mph top speed. All the trims share the same 84.3-kilowatt-hour battery pack.
The rest of the i5 lineup continues until 2025, unchanged as the model launched in 2024. However, BMW thought it best to bridge the gap between the first two i5 trims. The new 2025 i5 xDrive40 starts at $71,275.
