The BMW I5 SALOON (2023-) is a premium, fully electric four-door saloon, sitting in the UK’s executive-car market rather than the SUV or family-hatchback sectors. It brings BMW’s familiar 5 Series shape and cabin comfort together with electric driving, making it a modern alternative to the petrol and plug-in versions. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 1,327 checks across 886 different VINs, a healthy sample for such a recent model. The average private-sale valuation is £49,800, while checked cars average 35,000 miles and 17,000 miles a year. The average previous-keeper figure is just 0.21, consistent with a very new, largely first-owner car overall. The BMW i5 suits commuters, business drivers and families seeking space and premium comfort. Its smooth, brisk response and modern technology are appealing, while the saloon shape feels more familiar than an SUV. It competes with the Mercedes EQE and Tesla Model S, combining electric motoring with BMW’s driving appeal.
