On May 24, the India-bound BMW i5 will reveal itself.

Prior to the all-new i5's scheduled 24 May 2023 world presentation, BMW has formally teased the vehicle

The eighth-generation ICE version of the 5 Series will be unveiled with the first-ever electric variant.

Inside, the i5 will have the same sizable floating dashboard display as the revised 3 Series and the top-of-the-line 7 Series.

The i5 will initially be available in two configurations: the eDrive40 and the M60 xDrive.

Power outputs and battery parameters have not yet been made public.

BMW, though, asserts that it has adjusted the suspension to provide greater comfort.

With that, the sedan will also offer adaptive suspension that will blend the ride comfort close to the 7 Series
