Chronology
Predecessor BMW 5 Series (G30)
BMW 6 Series (G32)

The BMW 5 Series (G60) is an executive car manufactured and marketed by German luxury automaker BMW since 2023. The lineup consists of the G60 saloon, G61 estate (marketed as Touring), and the G68 long-wheelbase sedan. It represents the eighth generation of the BMW 5 Series, succeeding the G30 model and the G32 6 Series liftback.

Contents

The G60 was officially revealed on 24 May 2023, began production on 21 July 2023, with sales commencing in October. Built upon an updated version of the rear-wheel drive Cluster Architecture (CLAR) platform, shared with the larger G70 7 Series, it is significantly larger than any of its predecessors. The eighth generation BMW 5 Series is also offered with a battery electric powertrain, called the "i5". Three models are offered; the entry-level, rear-wheel-drive eDrive40 model, the mid-range, all-wheel-drive xDrive40, and the range topping M60 xDrive model.

A long-wheelbase saloon model (G68) exclusive to China debuted in August 2023 and it is assembled at the Dadong plant. [1] The G61 5 Series Touring was unveiled in February 2024. [2] The fastback derivative, the 6 Series Gran Turismo has been discontinued.

Development

Testing

In February 2022, testing of the i5 commenced when engineers drove it from Munich to the test centre in Arjeplog. It had to cover about 1,850 miles (2,980 km) to northern Sweden before undergoing additional testing throughout the year. Prototypes were assessed in and around Munich and in the vicinity of the Dingolfing factory. [3] The testing was implemented to evaluate the efficiency of its electric motors, power electronics, high-voltage battery and integrated heating and cooling system for the cabin and battery pack. The development and test engineers chose Arjeplog as the final destination for their testing programme. The snow-covered roads and frozen lakes in northern Sweden, featuring expansive ice surfaces, offered an optimal environment to assess the interactions among chassis components, steering and braking systems, and driving dynamic and stability systems in extreme outdoor conditions. [4]

Following the testing in Arjeplog, the BMW i5 underwent further testing throughout 2022. This included assessments at various BMW Group test facilities and real-world driving scenarios in and around Munich, as well as in the vicinity of BMW Group Plant Dingolfing. The focus during this phase was on continual refinement of the car's chassis technology and acoustic properties across multiple conditions. Additionally, efforts were directed toward fine-tuning the power delivery of the drive unit to ensure a well-rounded driving experience. A deliberate part of the development involved testing during colder months on icy and snowy roads in the Alpine foothills. In the winter of 2022, BMW i5 prototypes, featuring reduced camouflage and near-production headlights, were regularly deployed for testing to verify the functionality and reliability of the powertrain and chassis control systems under extremely challenging road and weather conditions. BMW engineers overseeing the project were able to directly assess the current state of development through testing in Bavaria before returning to endurance testing near the Arctic Circle in February 2023. [4]

Launch

The 5 Series was revealed in i5 form on 24 May 2023. [5] [6] [7] [8] The long-wheelbase model, designated G68 and made exclusively for China, was unveiled on 8 August 2023. [9] [10] The 5 Series began production on 21 July 2023 at the Dingolfing plant, followed by its battery electric counterpart four days later. [11] [12] Sales began in October. The estate model began production on 1 March 2024. [13]

The basis for the G60 5 Series is an updated version of BMW's Cluster Architecture (CLAR) platform. It is the same structure that underpins all BMW models featuring either a longitudinally mounted combustion engine or electric drivetrain. [19] Compared to its predecessor, the G60 is 97 mm (3.8 in) longer, 33 mm (1.3 in) wider and 36 mm (1.4 in) taller, while its wheelbase has been extended by 20 mm (0.79 in). [5] This makes the G60 longer than the 2000s E65 7 Series. [20] The G61 Touring is 97 mm (3.8 in) longer, 32 mm (1.3 in) wide, and 17 mm (0.67 in) taller than the previous generation. It also features the longest wheelbase in its class at 2,995 mm (117.9 in). [21]

The drag coefficient is 0.22–0.23 across the range, aided by an air flap control that opens intakes in the grille to add up to 16 mi (26 km) to the range, while an air curtain tidies up the air flow past the front wheels. Lightweight “air performance” wheels with inserts also help incrementally reduce emissions and enhance range. [22] [23] The surfacing along the rest of the car is neater than before, with flush-fitting door handles, a sloping boot lid and a closed-off underbody. [24]

The new platform features a double-wishbone front suspension on coil springs and multilink rear suspension on air springs, [5] as well as a torque vectoring system known as near-actuator wheel slip limitation. [25]

Four-wheel steering (Integral Active Steering) that turns the rear-wheels by up to 2.5 degrees is optional, [26] as are active anti-roll bars and adaptive dampers. [5]

Interior and equipment

Interior with the updated iDrive 8.5 infotainment system and the BMW Interaction Bar.

The G60 5 Series is the first BMW to feature the updated iDrive 8.5 infotainment system based on the Linux operating system. The interface is accessed via the BMW Curved Display that combines the 310 mm (12.3 in) instrument cluster and 380 mm (14.9 in) infotainment system with a redesigned touch interface within a single unit. The operating system offers additional digital content, including a range of video streaming options and some in-car gaming features via the AirConsole, a free app that uses the smartphone as a controller for the suite of apps on offer. [20]

The BMW Interaction Bar, which debuted in the G70 7 Series, is an optional feature on the base models and standard on the i5. It adds touch-sensitive control points for air conditioning and the hazard light, [20] and a slim, backlit control panel that runs across the entire dashboard and into the front doors. [27]

The G60 5 Series is offered as fully leather-free for the first time. That treatment, which includes Alcantara-wrapped seats and steering wheel, is also available on models with the more aggressive M Sport pack equipped. Sporty seats are standard equipment on most of the G60 5 Series models, but multi-contour seats are standard on the i5 M60 (and can be opted for on other models). [20]

BMW calls its driver-assist option Driving Assistant Professional which includes Steering and Lane Control Assist and Distance Control, with Stop & Go function. [28] This system, which still requires the driver to hold the steering wheel as it "drives" the 5 Series, comes with Active Lane Change Assistant. The system makes suggestion on how to change lanes to move around slower traffic, but won't act until the driver's eye looks at the corresponding mirror. [5]

In markets where regulations permit (United States, Canada and Germany), the Highway Assistant can relieve the driver of steering tasks on highways with structurally divided lanes at up to 130 km/h (81 mph). [28]

The boot of the G60 5 Series has a volume of 520 L (18 cu ft) for both the pure combustion-engine and plug-in hybrid models, which is 10 L (0.35 cu ft) smaller compared to the previous model. Wheel sizes range from 19- to 21-inches. [29] The G61 Touring features the same 570 L (20 cu ft) storage capacity that extends to 1,700 L (60 cu ft) with the rear seats folded down as its predecessor. [21] Unlike its predecessors, the G61 Touring no longer features the independent rear glass opening feature on the rear tailgate, as the rear end features a more coupe-like design to improve the coefficient drag and the boot volume is not compromised. [30]

Powertrain

The G60 5 Series is offered with a range of 48-volt mild hybrid turbocharged petrol and diesel engines, plug-in hybrid models as well as all-electric i5 models. [31] All models except the all-electric models are fitted as standard with the ZF 8HP 8-speed automatic transmission produced by ZF Friedrichshafen. Rear-wheel drive is standard, while BMW's xDrive all-wheel drive system is optional on some base models and is standard fitment on top-of-the-line models. [32]

The G60 is primarily available with 2.0 litre four cylinder engines with 48 V mild hybrid technology with an integrated starter-generator, integrated into the transmission. Plug-in hybrid models feature a permanent-magnet synchronous motor, paired with an 19.4 kWh lithium-ion battery. The range-topping M560e is available with the 3.0 litre six-cylinder engine.

The 530e PHEV model's all-electric range is 87–101 km (54–63 mi), while the 550e PHEV's all electric range is 79–90 km (49–56 mi). For both models, the fully electric modes let the driver cruise below speeds of 140 km/h (87 mph). [33]

2025 BMW i5 Touring (G61)

The BMW i5 and BMW i5 Touring are battery electric models of the 5 Series (G60/G61). The i5 saloon was announced in May 2023 with the conventional G60 5 Series, [25] while the i5 Touring was unveiled in February 2024. [2] It is built at the same Dingolfing assembly line as units with combustion engines and plug-in hybrids. [25]

An in-house developed electric motor paired with an 84.3 kWh battery pack makes for 250 kW (340 PS; 335 hp) and 400 N⋅m (295 lb⋅ft) (or 430 N⋅m (317 lb⋅ft) when Sport Boost or Launch Control is active) sent to the rear wheels of the i5 eDrive40, [25] while the addition of an extra electric motor up front on the i5 M60 xDrive allows for 442 kW (601 PS; 593 hp) and 795 N⋅m (586 lb⋅ft) sent to all four wheels (or up to 820 N⋅m (605 lb⋅ft) with Sport Boost or M Launch Control activated). [28] This electric motor is part of BMW’s fifth-generation e-drive kit, utilizing a current-excited synchronous machine that eliminates the need for permanent magnets and rare earth. [45] The motors themselves are positioned in the axles, and the axles also house the one-speed transmissions and power electronics. The M60 also gets standard adaptive suspension, a 7.62 mm (0.300 in) lower ride height than the base model, and upgraded brakes. [46]

The i5 can adjust its braking energy regeneration based on battery level and traffic situation, though the driver can manually select low, medium, or high braking regeneration as well. [25] A new Max Range mode optimize the remaining charge in the battery up to 25 percent by limiting top speed to 90 km/h (56 mph) and shuts down the climate control, the heated and cooled seats, and the heated steering wheel. [5]

The onboard Combined Charging Unit (CCU) supports AC charging at up to 11 kW as standard, or up to 22 kW as an option. DC fast charging is supported at up to 205 kW, which can take the battery from 10 to 80 percent in about 30 minutes. [28] BMW introduced a "Plug & Charge" function that automatically authenticates itself and eliminates the need for account access through the provider’s app or card at compatible public charging stations. [47] Customers can store up to five individual Plug & Charge-enabled accounts from different providers in BMW’s iDrive system. [48]

Batteries are packed below the floor, inside the centre tunnel and under the rear seats. [49] The 84.3 kWh high-voltage battery is composed of four modules with 72 battery cells each and three modules with 12 cells each. [47] It is a 400-volt lithium-ion battery, which has a 211 amp-hour capacity. [50] Due to electrical components such as the battery and motor, boot space decreases from 520 L (18 cu ft) on the pure combustion-engine and plug-in hybrid models to 490 L (17 cu ft) on the i5 saloon. [51] [52] However, the i5 Touring features the same storage capacity as its pure combustion-engine and plug-in hybrid models, 570 L (20 cu ft) of storage capacity that extends to 1,700 L (60 cu ft) with the rear seats folded down. [21]

Models

Models introduced at launch include the high-performance AWD M60 and RWD model eDrive40. [5] The xDrive40, a mid-range AWD model, was announced in early February 2024 as a 2025 model for the saloon model. [53] Later in February 2024, the BMW i5 Touring was launched with the M60 and eDrive40 variants, while the xDrive40 is expected for late 2024. [21]
