At Grayson BMW in Knoxville, TN, you can find most of the trims from the new i5, and if you need help deciding which you should go for, our team is here to help. So, what can you expect from the new i5?
As mentioned, the new i5 at [DEALER] is a fully electric sedan. The base model features a motor rated at 335 HP and 295 pound-feet of torque. When you engage Sport Boost or Launch Control, the torque can be scaled up to 317 pound-feet of torque. With the M60 xDrive, you get a motor rated at 590 HP and 549 pound-feet of torque. This variant is AWD and has many performance features that enthusiasts will love. With the base model, you can expect a range of 295 miles on a full charge and 256 miles with the M60 xDrive.
The new i5 comes in two trims, including the following.
The eDrive40 is the base trim on the new i5 line-up. This said, the eDrive40 is not a common sedan by any standards. It features a well-designed exterior with beautiful curves and an interior full of premium materials. Like any other BMW, the eDrive promises sheer driving pleasure with a driver-centric infotainment system and advanced driving features.
With the eDrive40, you also get powered front seats and a hands-free liftgate for easier access to the trunk. The woodgrain interior trim complements the overall interior design of the car. If you enjoy natural lighting, you will love the moonroof that comes with the eDrive40.
If you want a more powerful variant of the new i5, the M60xDrive is for you. This variant comes with BMW's xDrive drivetrain and is tweaked for performance. You also get BMW's Navigation System which can help you avoid gridlock. The front suspension features a Double Wishbone suspension, and on the rear, you get Multi-Link suspension for enhanced handling and stability. On the steering wheel, you get audio controls that make it easier to control the audio while driving.
The M60 xDrive also comes with heated and ventilated front seats that ensure a comfortable seating experience regardless of weather conditions. You can engage adaptive cruise control during long trips and enjoy an effortless driving experience. The Multi-Zone A/C allows for a personalized cabin climate. During cold weather, you can use the Remote Engine Start feature to warm the interior or cool it when it's hot. The M60 xDrive also makes it easier to access your home's garage with the Universal Garage Door Opener.
The interior of the new i5 features a futuristic design with a 12.3-inch infotainment screen that merges with a 14.9-inch Control Display. The new model comes with iDrive 8.5 software with lots of convenient tech. The BMW Interaction Bar with ambient lighting is standard on the new i5 and is placed in the instrument panel stretching into the door panels. The control panels for ventilation, air conditioning, and activating hazard lights are touch-sensitive instead of traditional buttons that are sometimes an eye sore.
The new model's exterior features a four-lamp design with vertical LED elements towards the outer edge that serve as DRLs and turn signals. The grille on the new i5 can be illuminated and is well-sized to fit the front profile. The M60 xDrive features a front apron with black surfaces and large air intakes. On the rear, you get a bold diffuser insert that complements the rear profile.
The new i5 is a car with many impressive tech features. If you want help parking your car, Automatic Parking will be handy. Telematics is also standard on the new i5. This feature collects and sends car data to APIs from which you can access your car's information. Smart Device Integration lets you easily connect your smartphone to the car's infotainment system. The infotainment system also features gesture control that allows you to control the infotainment system using gestures. You also get a heads-up display that relays important car info to the driver on the windscreen.
If you enjoy high-quality audio systems, you will love the 12-speaker Harman Kardon sound system. This sound system lets you enjoy clear audio and deep bass. The M60 xDrive features four-zone climate control that provides a personalized a/c experience to everyone in the car. This trim also features Adaptive M Suspension Professional. This advanced suspension system gives Integral Active Steering for sharper steering and handling. This system also comes with Anti-roll that helps prevent the car from rolling during high-speed cornering in Oak Ridge.
BMW is a brand renowned for producing safe vehicles. The new i5 is no different. The car is solid and comes with lots of safety tech, including:
Shoppers in the Knoxville, TN, area don't have to take our word for it. Reviewers and critics from publications like Car and Driver and Motor Trend have a lot to say about the new BMW i5 - and almost all of it is good. You can take to the Maryville, TN, roads confidently thanks to powerful new technology that reviewers noticed, like the BMW Highway Assistant that allows you to signal lane changes with a mere glance at the corresponding side-view mirror.
The new BMW i5 receives high marks for performance, too - especially with the BMW i5 M60. Astonished by the vehicle's 3.7-second zero to 60 mph sprint, reviewers found that the car's performance matched up perfectly with the prominent M badging the car proudly wears. Sevierville shoppers will appreciate that while the car's sport-tuned suspension does provide a bit stiffer ride, Car and Driver found that it "still remains compliant enough for daily driving."
Comfort and luxury come standard on the new BMW i5 - no matter which trim you opt for. Oak Ridge shoppers will love the "stylish, techy, and super spacious" (according to Motor Trend) cabin, offering plenty of luxurious and sophisticated touches. The curved display comprises a 14.9-inch central information display and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. It offers wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility and many other tech features that will likely impress you as much as it impresses automotive journalists.
The new i5 has lots to offer. Whether you're in Sevierville or Maryville, TN, come visit us at Grayson BMW in Knoxville, TN, and get to learn more about the new BMW i5. Be sure to check out our new inventory and apply for financing.
