📌 Launch Timeline: Expected in Q2 2026.
📌 Positioning: The i5 LWB will slot above the existing petrol 530Li but below performance-oriented versions like the i5 M60 in the 5-Series range.
📌 Powertrain: India is likely to get the eDrive40L version with a rear-mounted electric motor producing around 340 hp and 430 Nm of torque, paired with a 97 kWh battery.
📌 Local Adaptations: To suit Indian roads better, BMW is reportedly tweaking the i5’s suspension and increasing ground clearance — a practical move given local driving conditions.

The i5 LWB is expected to be priced around ₹1 crore, offering a spacious and premium EV sedan option in the luxury segment.
