33.8 -> let's find out
37.559 -> BMW's current electric lineup covers
40.379 -> most bases but the I5 will slot very
43.32 -> nicely between the I4 and i7 saloons
46.68 -> giving executive buyers the option for
49.14 -> an all-electric car that says things are
51.78 -> going all right at work
55.5 -> what about the exterior design Wise It's
58.5 -> got all the details you'd expect from a
60.6 -> modern BMW albeit with a Twist or two
63.18 -> it's got a large blanked off kidney
65.4 -> Grille up front digital headlights the
68.46 -> same flush door handles as the I4 and
71.159 -> the Hofmeister Kink now comes with an
73.74 -> embossed five in case you forget what
76.14 -> you're driving there are black side
78.24 -> skirts two presumably hide some visual
80.34 -> weight and two character lines to draw
82.86 -> your eye along the car
85.439 -> foreign
87.14 -> it's not a huge departure from the 5
90 -> series it is very nice in here with the
93.18 -> usual driver oriented cockpit design
95.22 -> it's a real blend of the sportiness of
98.159 -> the three series and the comfort of the
100.32 -> 7 Series for the first time ever in a
103.079 -> BMW the I5 comes with vegan interior
106.86 -> called veganza which is pretty much
109.979 -> everywhere bar the leather steering
111.54 -> wheel but if that's not your cup of tea
113.34 -> you can opt for full leather
114.96 -> [Music]
116.759 -> then there's this Sleek curved display
119.82 -> screen which has both the driver display
121.799 -> and the central unit which controls
124.5 -> pretty much everything so it has the
126.24 -> main menu in here navigation and the
130.14 -> games which uses the air console
132.12 -> platform and has literally hundreds of
134.4 -> games the I5 has a version of the
137.22 -> interaction bar found on the i7 this is
140.28 -> a long thin ambient light bar which can
142.8 -> change color depending on the drive mode
144.72 -> or to alert the driver of danger below
147.9 -> this is a separate bar giving you quick
150.36 -> access to vent controls demisting and
153.12 -> hazard lights
154.53 -> [Music]
156.44 -> there are two powertrain options the
159.48 -> first the I5 e Drive 40 comes with a
162.84 -> single motor driving the rear wheels and
165.42 -> kicks out 340 horsepower allowing it to
168.72 -> hit 62 miles an hour from rest in 6.1
172.26 -> seconds and a top speed of 120 miles an
175.62 -> hour there's also version that's been
178.08 -> given a gentle going over by the end
180.06 -> division the I5 M60 X Drive thanks to
184.56 -> Motors mounted on both axles it's
187.14 -> all-wheel drive and combined they
190.019 -> produce 598 horsepower and up to 820
194.22 -> newton meters of torque BMW says it'll
197.76 -> manage not to 62 in 3.8 seconds before
201.42 -> climbing to 143 miles an hour the rear
205.379 -> drive car will according to the wltp
208.56 -> test cycle manage up to 362 miles on a
212.819 -> charge to the m60s 321 as with all of
217.44 -> BMW's other EVS the soundtrack while
220.26 -> it's moving has been composed by
222 -> Hollywood producer Hans Zimmer who
224.7 -> you'll know from Batman movies The Lion
227.099 -> King and for those of you of a certain
229.92 -> age the theme tune to daytime quiz show
232.739 -> going for gold the I5 isn't a small car
236.7 -> at just over 5 meters long and nearly
239.28 -> two meters wide but that means there's
241.62 -> more room for people their things a
244.14 -> large boot space and perhaps crucially
246.659 -> batteries it's based on a version of
249.54 -> BMW's car platform which is used in the
252.78 -> I4 5 series 8 series Z4 and more
260.239 -> and as for the rear again plenty of
263.52 -> space and it is very comfortable you
266.1 -> really get to enjoy the glass panoramic
268.44 -> roof which I think is a really nice
270.479 -> feature got touch screen here for your
273.419 -> vents and plenty of charging points and
277.199 -> again the viganza interior and you
279.54 -> really can't tell that it's not leather
283.62 -> there's plenty of tech on board that
285.72 -> will keep you on the straight and narrow
287.16 -> as always there's a very good driver
289.259 -> assist but now BMW you've taken it to a
291.96 -> whole new level with Highway assist
294 -> we're legal the car will actually drive
296.94 -> itself even when you take your hands off
299.28 -> the steering wheel as long as you keep
301.02 -> your eyes on the road and for an even
303.6 -> cooler party trick it will actually
305.52 -> perform an overtaking maneuver without
307.979 -> you having to touch the steering wheel
309.6 -> at all not only that but it has the
312.3 -> parking assistant which means that the
314.04 -> car will park itself even when you're
316.38 -> outside of the car just by using your
318.66 -> smartphone and in some locations it will
321.9 -> pay for parking without you having to do
324.12 -> anything at all and there's a selfie
327.3 -> camera hey BMW
330.12 -> take a selfie
332.58 -> let us see your smile in three two one
338.34 -> I have absolutely no idea why that's a
340.199 -> thing but it's fun
343.08 -> as for charging the I5 can be recharged
346.02 -> from 10 to 156 kilometers of range in 10
351 -> minutes from a DC fast charger
353.52 -> the I5 is also BMW's first car to use
357 -> the plug and charge function which means
359.52 -> that certain public charging stations
361.56 -> you can simply plug in and charge
363.78 -> without having to mess around with
365.759 -> payment cards or subscriptions
367.979 -> the I5 is an important car for BMW
370.919 -> because it has two jobs to do job number
373.5 -> one convince current customers to make
375.72 -> that switch from Ice to EV which they're
378.78 -> going to have to do as BMW phase their
381.18 -> petrol cars out so the I5 needs to show
384.06 -> people that it's not only preferable but
386.16 -> it's also easy
387.539 -> job 2 will be probably harder this needs
391.56 -> to be the car that diverts eyes away
393.78 -> from Tesla Mercedes and Audi Tesla is
398.039 -> obviously the byword for electric
399.9 -> driving at the moment it popularized
402.36 -> them made Evie's aspirational and has
405.479 -> Legions of loyal fans merc's eqe got to
409.68 -> the market first which puts BMW on a
412.62 -> back foot Audi's A6 e-tron is coming
416.1 -> later this year and certainly looks the
418.68 -> part all although we don't know what
420.78 -> it's packing just yet
422.94 -> can the I5 manage these jobs maybe
426 -> especially when it promises so much
428.039 -> it'll be out later this year and when
430.08 -> we've driven it we'll let you know what
431.52 -> it's like
434.48 -> [Music]
445.52 -> [Music]
