What Owners are Saying About the 2026 BMW i5
"Great driver-oriented EV!"
"Pros: - Lots of features (self park, drive assist, etc) - Very roomy - Aesthetically pleasing - Fair negotiation on price Cons: - Haptic buttons can be annoying - Heavy car even for a noncompact - Settings don’t always save (auto parking brake) Overall, I would definitely buy this over any Tesla even considering the price gap. It’s an EV that doesn’t compromise any basic features that a regular car has except the haptic buttons."
"M60 is 99.9% perfect"
"Fast, smooth as silk, gorgeous. Wish the sun visor expanded to fill gap like in our i4."
"Dream to drive!"
"The i5 M60 doesn't disappoint. There is so much power, and luxury at every corner. This car is also full of technology and drives like a dream."
