Performance
The BMW i5 xDrive40 Touring has a maximum power of 290 kW (394 hp / 389 bhp) and a total torque of 590 Nm (435 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 5.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 215 km/h (134 mph).

Battery, Range, and Charging
The battery has a gross capacity of 83.9 kWh and a net usable capacity of 81.2 kWh, with a 2.7 kWh buffer (3.2%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 400 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system.
The lithium-ion battery uses NMC (nickel manganese cobalt) chemistry.
Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the maximum rated range is 561 km (349 miles). Depending on the configuration and options such as wheel size, the rated range can be as low as 467 km (290 miles). Larger wheels generally increase energy consumption and reduce range.
WLTP energy consumption is 14.5 kWh/100 km for the base configuration and 17.4 kWh/100 km for the highest-consumption configuration.
For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.
The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 205 kW. A 0–100% charge takes approximately 57 minutes. A typical 10–80% session takes about 33 minutes at an average power of 104 kW.
With five minutes of overhead per stop, the optimal charging window is 1–46%. Effective average power, including overhead, is 112 kW over a session lasting about 20 minutes and 39 seconds.
In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 22.7 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 9 hours and 38 minutes, needing four charging stops from 1% to 46%, totaling 79 minutes of charging time.
Onboard Charger
The standard onboard charger supports AC charging at up to 11 kW. A full 0–100% charge takes about 7 hours and 22 minutes with a suitable home charging setup.
An optional 22 kW onboard charger reduces the full charge time to approximately 3 hours and 41 minutes.
Charge Port
The location of the charge port is on the right rear side. This placement makes it easy to use charging stations that require backing up to connect.
This model uses a CCS Combo 2 connector in its charge port.
Drivetrain
The BMW i5 xDrive40 Touring features an all-wheel drive system powered by two motors, one on each axle.
The motors used are Wound-Rotor Synchronous Motors.
Suspension
The suspension system features a double wishbone front construction and a multi-link rear construction. Both the front and rear dampers are electronically controlled. The front and rear springs are coil springs.
The Standard suspension has adaptive damping on the front and rear axle and air suspension on the rear axle that automatically keeps the car leveled depending on cargo weight.
Ground clearance with this setup is 147 mm.
The BMW i5 xDrive40 Touring features an optional advanced suspension system with double wishbone front construction and multilink rear construction.

Steering
Progressive steering is standard on the BMW i5 xDrive40 Touring. It adjusts the steering ratio according to vehicle speed.
In addition, rear-wheel steering is optional, reducing the turning circle at low speeds.
Drive Modes
The BMW i5 xDrive40 Touring lets the user select different drive modes that affect the car's handling.
The driver can choose between 3 modes:

Brakes
The BMW i5 xDrive40 Touring is equipped with cast-iron disc brakes on both the front and rear.
The front discs measure 348 mm, while the rear discs are 345 mm.
Regenerative Braking
The regenerative braking system in this model offers several modes. The most efficient option is the Automatic Regeneration Mode, where the vehicle coasts when possible and employs regenerative braking to reduce speed as needed.
Manual regeneration is another mode, where regenerative braking is controlled by pressing the brake pedal. The brake system blends in physical brakes only when necessary.
Another option is the Regen on Accelerator Pedal mode where regenerative braking is activated when the driver eases off the accelerator pedal. This system allows the vehicle to slow down and recover energy without the driver needing to press the brake pedal, a feature often referred to as one-pedal driving.
Drivers can also adjust the regenerative braking strength when lifting off the accelerator, choosing between three levels.
The maximum regenerative braking power is 116 kW.
Exterior
