Evaluation of 2024 BMW i5 eDrive40

BMW’s iconic 5 Series limousine uses battery power, but some features are lost in the process.

The new BMW 5 Series takes electrification to the extreme. Gasoline and diesel models still exist, but the core of the series is now the 2024 BMW i5 eDrive40, which is a classic rear-wheel drive semi-sports car. It enhances the sense of luxury through extra space, a lot of technology and a lot of equipment. It is an impressive means of transportation, although it has lost some traditional features.

How much is the BMW i5 eDrive40?

Section 2024Bmw i5 eDrive40It’s onThe new 5 series battery electric version is the first of its kind., the price is 155,900 Australian dollars, plus the toll.

If you need more power, you can choose BMW i5 M60 sedan (starting at A $215,900) or.Station wagon (starting at $219,900), or you can choose gasoline (starting at A $114,900 for the 520i) or diesel (starting at A $134,900 for the 540d).

The most obvious competitor of i5 eDrive40 isMercedes benz EQE 350 (starting at $153,600), butGenesis G80 Electrified Luxury (starting at A $145,675) must be playing the same game.

You are far from the Audi e-tron (starting at A $182,400) and the Porsche Taycan (starting at A $175,100) series.The entry-level model is not far away.

What equipment is equipped with the BMW i5 eDrive40?

The rich configuration makes the 2024 BMW i5 eDrive40 prove that its purchase price is reasonable. It is equipped with 20-inch wheels, adaptive suspension, inner and outer M sports kits, Merino leather interior, adaptive LED headlights, electrically adjustable and heated sports front seats, electric trunk, panoramic glass roof and dual-zone climate control.

Having said that, if your wallet is bulging, you can still spend more money. Many metallic colors are free, but the price in matte paint is between 5,000 and 9,000 Australian dollars, depending on your choice.

The only additional function on the car we tested was the comfort kit, which cost A $5,700 to add four-zone climate control, heated steering wheel, electric rear sunshade, ventilated front seats and heated rear seats-all these are valuable functions.

From the appearance point of view, the M Sport Plus kit, which costs A $4,200, adds 21-inch wheels, shiny appearance highlights, carbon fiber spoilers and rearview mirrors, and painted brake calipers, or you can buy larger wheels for A $2,200.

The standard warranty period of BMW is five years/unlimited mileage, and the battery warranty period is eight years. Service intervals may vary, but a four-year (A $1,676) or six-year (A $2,350) prepaid package is available.

How safe is the BMW i5 eDrive40?

ANCAP awarded the highest five-star safety rating to the 2024 BMW 5 Series (including the i5 EV model).Among them, the score of adult occupant protection is 89%, the score of child occupant protection is 87%, the score of vulnerable road users is 86%, and the score of safety assistance is 81%.

This is because the front and rear parts are equipped with a large number of airbags and a large number of active safety kits, including automatic emergency braking (AEB), active cruise control with stop-and-go function, lane keeping assistance and departure warning, parking assistance, intersection warning and 360-degree camera.

In addition, the professional parking assistant (Parking Assistant Professional) is also a standard configuration, which allows the automatic parking operation up to 200 meters to be executed and stored, and then the car can be automatically executed when needed, even through a smartphone using BMW App.

What technology does BMW i5 eDrive40 use?

Nowadays, the giant widescreen display has become a necessary configuration of the brand, and the 2024 BMW i5 eDrive40 is no exception.

It does use BMW’s operating system 8.5 instead of the latest 9.0, which solves some ergonomic problems, but more importantly, it turns to more powerful Android-based hardware.

In any case, OS8.5 has millions of different functions. Not only wireless smartphone images, but also 5G connections, personal assistants, video streaming, real-time traffic and weather updates, and even car games. Your smartphone can become a controller to kill charging time.

In addition, there is a comprehensive head-up display, augmented reality navigation that can display instructions superimposed on the camera view, full-width digital instruments and application programs to check the vehicle status.

Where does the power of BMW i5 eDrive40 come from?

A single 250kW/430Nm rear motor can accelerate the 2024 BMW i5 eDrive40 from 0-100 km/h in 6.0 seconds, with a top speed of 193 km/h..

How far can the BMW i5 eDrive40 travel on a single charge?

Capacity up to 84kWh (total capacity; The battery with a net capacity of 81.2kWh can provide a maximum cruising range of 582 kilometers for the 2024 BMW i5 eDrive40.

As in the past, the maximum number needs to be achieved in an ideal situation, but it brings a very realistic real world range of 450-500 kilometers to the i5.

The maximum DC charging rate is 205kW, which can theoretically charge 10-80% within 30 minutes, but it must be said that it is difficult for us to reach the charging amount close to 200kW on a 350kW charger. This time, it may just be fate.

On the other hand, the owner can buy an 11kW AC charger from BMW at the price of A $1,000 plus installation fee, which can fully charge the battery from empty power within 8.2 hours.

Reminder: In a typical household power outlet, the charging time is 0-100% about 43 hours, so don’t expect to be fully charged overnight!

BMW does offer a five-year subscription service for Chargefox outlets, which makes the public charging experience relatively easy: just walk to the front of the car, swipe your card and plug in the power supply.

How does it feel to drive the BMW i5 eDrive40?

In a way, electric propulsion makes the 2024 BMW i5 eDrive40 the best 5 Series ever.

It is very quiet and exquisite, it can provide impressive power instantly, and the ride experience is very comfortable on the whole.

Raise your enthusiasm, it will show the truly extraordinary grip, the balance of traditional BMW, accurate steering and strong traction for a car of this size and weight (2130 kg), and if you work hard enough, it will swing your hips with rear wheel drive.

But …

For those who still love driving internal combustion engines, these may be outdated ideas, but after the road test of the i5, I was impressed by its performance, but I don’t want to experience it again.

It didn’t take long for me to feel as if I had discovered what it could do. Although the previous 5-Series sedan was not as powerful and steady as the new i5 in terms of dynamics, it could inspire your enthusiasm for driving for a long time, even for the sake of driving, even on the humble 528, 530 and 540.

There are two reasons that may have nothing to do with this. First of all, people who like the EV process, like the seamless and quiet impact it brings, may feel that the i5 experience is better. Secondly, few non-M 5 series drive in this way, and the silky daily driving mode of cars is more important.

Let me defend you. You can buy a twin-turbocharged V8 by buying the previous generation 5 Series with this money.M550i with all-wheel drive This is a top class sports car.

What is the interior of the BMW i5 eDrive40?

Like all G60 5 series models, the size of the 2024 BMW i5 eDrive40 is greatly increased compared with its predecessor.

The length is increased by 97 mm, the width is increased by 32 mm, the height is increased by 36 mm, and the wheelbase is increased by 20 mm, which makes its proportion similar to that of the 7 series not long ago.

To prove this point, measure F01 7 series (2008-2015) with a tape measure, and you will find that it is 5072mm long, 1902mm wide, 1478mm high and 3070mm wheelbase. The dimensions of i5 are 5060mm, 1900mm, 1515mm and 2995mm respectively. The difference is very small.

The advantage of this is that the interior space is similar to that of the 7 Series, especially in the rear.

Also fromBorrowed from the 7 seriesThere is also a cool interactive bar across the entire cabin, which contains hidden vents and can be set to any color. It really looks beautiful at night.

This is a simple but high-quality environment.

The driving position is very good, and it is highly adjustable, with sufficient storage space and a 490-liter trunk.

Should I buy a BMW i5 eDrive40?

As the main role of this 2024 BMW i5 eDrive40 as a large luxury car, turning to electric drive has undoubtedly improved it.

The daily experience is smoother and more exquisite, the space is bigger, the level of science and technology is almost dazzling, and the interior is very fashionable, which meets many requirements.

Despite its powerful performance, it lost its sports advantage, which may not be important to many people, but those who spent a similar amount on the previous G30 M550i may find it lacking in drama.

In other words, if you are eager to own an i7, but don’t want to spend more than 300,000 Australian dollars, then the i5 eDrive40 can provide quite good imitation effect at half the price.

Talent is the first driving force for enterprise development, which has long been the consensus of major enterprises. As the only brand in the industry that focuses on one-on-one express delivery, Flash Delivery insists on creating a "temperature" corporate culture to create a safe working environment and an inclusive working atmosphere for riders.

　

　

In the instant delivery industry, it is inevitable that the platform will compete with each other in exploring a more efficient instant delivery scheduling system, but it needs to give consideration to speed and efficiency. How can their safety be guaranteed? As an influential head platform in the industry, Flash has been doing "one-on-one express delivery" for ten years. Compared with the single-fight mode of grabbing income with time under the extreme algorithm, the rider in Flash mode faces one order at a time, and each order has a certain life time, so as to prevent the rider from running a red light or speeding in order to catch up with time, so as to perform the contract more calmly and safely. In addition, the unique algorithm model of "one-to-one mode" is built by combining the huge data accumulated in its own service scenes, and three digital systems, namely, order matching system, dynamic intelligent dispatching system and safety protection system, are gradually formed, which leaves users with space to explore application scenes and provides time and possibility for riders to contribute exclusive services to users.

As the main body responsible for production safety, the "safety problem" can’t be relaxed for a moment. We attach great importance to the safety protection of riders, and strengthen safety management and create a people-oriented enterprise safety culture through a series of practical and effective means such as establishing mechanisms, innovating means, perfecting standards and building culture. For example, through accident transfer, vehicle rescue, rider safety training courses, rider love team operation, etc., the safety experience in rider service is improved as a whole, and accidents are reduced. In addition, the flasher also regularly provides riders with traffic safety tips and related training, and has opened the functions of traffic accident transfer and vehicle rescue on the flasher APP. At the same time, it has set up "energy stations" in several cities across the country to enable riders in need to quickly inquire about nearby rest, endurance and maintenance places, so as to achieve speed and temperature.

　

　

In addition, while ensuring the safety of the rider, the flash also pays great attention to improving the rider’s happiness. Flash delivery has successively built knight’s homes in core cities across the country, providing offline activities such as order-taking training, communication, problem solving, rest and drinking water, which are open to flash delivery staff and city service providers. In addition, the annual November 23rd will be designated as the "Flash Rider’s Day", during which cash-filled red envelopes, gifts and benefits, offline dinners and other activities will be provided for riders to gain more social recognition, thus enhancing their sense of professional honor.

In the future, the Flash Club will continue to adhere to the corporate philosophy of "people-oriented", create a safer working environment conducive to personal growth for riders, pay attention to the development of riders in all directions, and create a one-on-one brand benchmark that is truly warm to employees and society.

　　Counting the main models of Chery Automobile in sales volume, Chery A3, which was listed last year, is one of the main sources of its profits. Faced with the listing of many new models this year, Chery A3′ s selling point of "safety" is getting weaker and weaker, and the actual selling price of the market is also declining. In order to keep A3′ s market momentum,Except that there will be new superchargers including 1.3SengineIn addition to the future,Sohu autoThe latest news is that there will be a new five-speed automatic.gearboxWill appear inChery A3upper/better/previous/a surnameRecently, Sohu Auto exclusively photographed the spy photos of the model equipped with this new gearbox, and shared them with Sohu riders here.

Chery A3 five-speed automatic gearbox acquired by Sohu Auto.

　　From the picture, this automatic gearbox is very similar to the handle lever of DP0 gearbox currently mounted on Chery Oriental Son, and its function is basically the same. It has four gears: P (parking gear), N (neutral gear), R (reverse gear) and D (forward gear), and it can also be switched to manual gear mode. Although there is not much change from other interior parts in the car, it is only a matching model and cannot reflect the true face of future production models. Sohu Auto will continue to track its changes in the future.

　　Looking at the current domestic auto market, in the low-end A-class auto market, there are not many automatic transmission models. For example, Geely Vision and Southeast Lingyue only have five-speed manual gearboxes at present, while Haima Familia, Changan Zhixiang and BYD F3 have automatic transmission models, but they are all obsolete four-speed automatic gearboxes like Chery A3. With the popularity of DSG abroad, the status of four-speed gearbox in the eyes of consumers in China has been getting lower and lower. In addition, although the performance of the four-speed automatic gearbox of some models of joint venture cars is not bad, butFour-speed automaticgearboxCongenital defects such as unsmooth shifting, poor acceleration and high fuel consumption are still unavoidable.. Therefore, developing and matching automatic transmission models with higher performance has become a top priority for many manufacturers at present. As an important member of the independent brand camp, Chery is no exception. With the introduction of five-speed autonomous gearboxes of high-end models such as Chery G5 and G6, it is logical to match the five-speed gearboxes of low-end models. According to relevant sources,Chery A3The new five-speed automatic in the futuregearboxWith G6, etc.Cheryhigh-endcar make and modelSimilarly, it is also from South Korea.modern timesAutomaticgearbox, its internal code is 5F23.(23 means that the maximum torque that can be transmitted by this gearbox is 230Nm). And its engine is still from Chery’s own 1.8L naturally aspirated engine. As far as this engine is concerned, the performance of this gearbox is more than enough. In the future, it is not ruled out that the 1.3S and 1.6S supercharged engines will also match the possibility that this gearbox will appear on A3.

　　As far as hardware is concerned, Chery A3 equipped with a new automatic gearbox in the future is worth looking forward to, but the author has reservations about whether the final model can satisfy consumers after it goes on the market.First of all, it is automatic.gearboxGenerally speaking, in addition to its own complex structure and material requirements, software is also a very important key technology. At present, there are no experienced people in China.gearboxThere is still a lack of experience in calibrating suppliers and accurately matching them.If Chery goes public in a hurry, the future Chery five-speed automatic gearbox can only be a highlight of publicity, and its actual use effect may not satisfy car buyers. Secondly, Chery’s 1.8L engine inherits Chery’s tradition and has advantages in data, but its performance in starting and accelerating is not satisfactory. In addition, Chery A3 brings nearly 1400 kilograms of vehicle weight for safety, so it is very difficult for the new powertrain to have a good performance. The author believes that,Chery A3The most ideal powertrain is its 1.6S mechanical pressurization.enginePlus this 5F23 five-speed automaticgearboxIt will have a good performance in power performance and economic performance.

　　summaryAlthough we still don’t know how the future performance of the Chery A3 five-speed automatic transmission version will be, one thing is certain, it will be better than the current Chery DP0 four-speed gearbox. If Chery upgrades its technology without increasing its price, the performance-price ratio of the Chery A3 automatic transmission model will be further improved. On the other hand, with the launch of Chery A3 five-speed automatic transmission model, its significance lies in unveiling a prelude to the elimination of outdated four-speed automatic transmission in China market, which will set off a wave of gearbox technology upgrading in China, which will be a very good thing for consumers. From this point of view, the author is also looking forward to the launch of Chery A3 new model.

????On January 29th, the website of Canadian Aspects magazine published an article entitled "The Fallen Ukrainian War" by Chris hedges. The full text is as follows:

????An empire in ultimate decline will quickly enter the next military fiasco from one military fiasco. The Ukrainian conflict-another failed attempt to re-establish American global hegemony-fits this pattern of imperial decline. The danger is that the more terrible the situation looks, the more the United States will escalate the conflict, which may provoke an open confrontation with Russia. If Russia retaliates against the supply and training bases of NATO countries near Ukraine, or uses tactical nuclear weapons, NATO will almost certainly respond by attacking Russian troops. We will start a third world war, which may lead to a nuclear catastrophe.

????American military support for Ukraine began with basic equipment such as ammunition and offensive weapons. However, the US President Joe Biden’s administration quickly crossed several red lines set by itself and provided Ukraine with a large number of deadly war machines.

????Since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict on February 24, 2022, the US Congress has approved more than $113 billion in aid to Ukraine and its allies, of which $67 billion has been allocated for military expenditures. At present, 28 countries send weapons to Ukraine. Except Australia, Canada and the United States, the rest are in Europe.

????The rapid escalation of cutting-edge military equipment and assistance to Ukraine does not bode well for the NATO alliance. It will take months, if not years, to train Ukrainian troops to operate and coordinate the use of these weapons systems. Tank warfare is a complex operation that needs careful planning. Armored forces must work closely with air power, warships, infantry and artillery units.

????NATO military commanders understand that putting these weapon systems into war will not change the war situation, which is largely determined by the artillery confrontation on hundreds of miles of fronts. At best, it is a deadlock. Purchasing these weapon systems (including training and maintenance costs, a M1 abrams main battle tank costs 10 million US dollars) only increases the profits of weapon manufacturers. The use in Ukraine can make these weapons tested in battlefield conditions, thus making this war a laboratory for weapons manufacturers such as Lockheed Martin. All this is good for NATO and arms companies, but not for Ukraine.

????Officials in Washington demanded support for Ukraine as a bastion of freedom and democracy, and their hysterical cries were a response to the obvious decay and decline of the American Empire. American war crimes, torture, economic decline, social division (including the riots that hit the Congress on January 6, 2021, the poor response to the Covid-19 epidemic, the declining life expectancy of the population and the vicious shooting incidents that caused many casualties) and a series of military failures from Vietnam to Afghanistan are all well known. All this has destroyed America’s global prestige. Since the end of World War II, the coups, political assassinations, election fraud, smear propaganda, extortion, kidnapping, brutal counter-insurgency offensive, American-sanctioned massacres, torture in black jails, proxy war and military intervention all over the world have never led to the establishment of a democratic government. On the contrary, these interventions have killed more than 20 million people and aroused resentment against American imperialism around the world.

????In desperation, the declining empire of the United States injected more and more funds into the war machine.

????The two ruling parties in the United States (the Republican Party and the Democratic Party) rely on campaign funds provided by military enterprises, and also face pressure from weapons manufacturers in local States and regions.

????These military enterprises use the voters in their constituencies to pass a huge military expenditure budget. Politicians are keenly aware that challenging the permanent wartime economy will be attacked as unpatriotic, and it is usually a political suicide.

????French philosopher and social activist Simone Weil wrote in the Iliad, the poem of power: "The soul enslaved by war is in urgent need of liberation, but liberation itself seems to be an extreme and tragic aspect of destruction."

????Facts will prove that the plan to reshape Europe and change the balance of global power by weakening Russia is exactly the same as the failed plan aimed at reshaping the Middle East. The plan is exacerbating the global food crisis and destroying Europe with near double-digit inflation. It once again exposed the incompetence of the United States and the bankruptcy of its ruling oligarchy. As a counterweight to the United States, China, Russian, Indian, Brazilian and Iranian countries are getting rid of the tyranny of the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency, which will cause economic and social disasters in the United States.

????Washington is providing more and more sophisticated weapons systems and billions of dollars in aid, trying to save Ukraine, but more importantly, saving the United States itself, but it will all be in vain.

　　On July 9, Iran test-fired a missile (TV photo). Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards successfully test-fired an improved Meteor-3 medium-range ballistic missile on the same day, which can cover all of Israel and US military bases in the Middle East, Iranian state television reported on the 9th. In addition, the Revolutionary Guard also tested several missiles with different ranges. Xinhua News Agency/Reuters

　　According to the British "Sunday Times" report, a senior Pentagon official said that President Bush had told the Israeli government that if the negotiations with Iran broke down, he might approve Israel’s plan to take military action against Iran’s nuclear facilities.

　　The American official told The Sunday Times that although American generals opposed the plan of using force and people widely doubted whether the United States was ready to deal with the military, political and economic risks caused by air strikes against Iran, Bush had turned on a "yellow light" for Israel’s plan of air strikes against Iran’s nuclear facilities. He said that the "yellow light" means that Israel can continue its preparations, be ready to launch a strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities at any time, and inform the US after the preparations are completed. However, Bush has told the Israelis that the US military will not provide them with help, nor can they use the US military base in Iraq for logistical support.

　　Whether Bush’s "yellow light" can be turned into a "green light" is still uncertain, because Iran has demonstrated undeniable lethal strike capability. Washington believes that Iran’s medium-range ballistic missile test last week was provocative and an unwise decision, but both the Pentagon and the CIA believe that Iran’s missile test does not mean that Israel or American targets are facing Iran.

　　The threat of ciliary. Pentagon officials said: "It really depends on the Israelis. It has been decided that the United States will not attack Iran, but the president is really worried about the nuclear threat against Israel. I know that he believes that only force can deter Iran. So far, Israel has not provided Bush with a convincing military proposal. If there is no convincing military plan, the yellow light will never turn green. "

　　Some Pentagon officials are also resistant to Israel’s military action plan, and they are worried about Iran’s retaliatory measures. The official said: "Pentagon military personnel oppose Israel’s plan to attack Iraq mainly because they think it will endanger our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan." One factor that complicates the consideration of the US and Israeli governments is the possibility of the US Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama becoming president. He has made it clear that he prefers negotiation to the use of force. Obama’s opposition to the Iraq war and his doubts about the urgency of Iran’s nuclear threat have further increased the pressure on Israeli hawks to take military action before the US election in November. Pentagon officials said, "If I were Israeli, I wouldn’t wait."

　　All sides believe that attacks by Iran or Israel will trigger a round of disastrous retaliation, which will shake the global oil market greatly, make the oil price soar and undermine the US military efforts in Iraq. Badri, Secretary General of OPEC, said last week that a military conflict involving Iran would lead to a sharp rise in oil prices, because OPEC would not be able to fill Iran’s oil production or overcome the shipping restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran is OPEC’s second largest oil producer after Saudi Arabia. Bush is also worried about the impact of military operations on the US Iraq war and US actions in the wider Middle East. The surge of American troops in the past few months has improved the situation in Iraq. A senior Iranian official said on the 12th that Iran would destroy 32 Israeli and American military bases in the Middle East as a counterattack against military strikes.

　　But American officials also admit that if Israel is threatened, the president of the United States will not be idle. The authenticity of Iran’s threat was the subject of heated debate last week. Some analysts said that Iran may have nuclear weapons before next spring, but others believed that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was playing a dangerous bluff game, with the aim of influencing domestic public opinion. Kynett Katzman, a former CIA analyst, said, "I don’t think Iran is capable of causing catastrophic damage to anyone. The Iranian Revolutionary Guards are not strong militarily, and their equipment is not accurate. The missile test is more like a bluff of’ there are dogs here’. They want everyone to think that if you find trouble with them, you will be bitten by a dog. " A former aide of Rice pointed out that Ahmadinejad’s conflict style has made him face a strong opponent in Iran’s religious leadership. Professor Feldman, head of Middle East studies at brandes University, said that the Iranian government is under pressure due to the global economic slowdown. He said: "Ahmadinejad’s failed policy has made Iran more vulnerable to sanctions, and people close to the clergy have considered him a burden." In Israel, Prime Minister Olmert also faces domestic problems, and he is facing a corruption investigation. It is widely rumored in Israeli media that he may order an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities to distract domestic attention. A close friend of his said that Olmert told him that people would see a completely different Middle East in three months.

　　However, even the toughest officials admit that Israel will face the most challenging military task since its establishment. Pentagon officials said: "Everyone here thinks that Israel’s military action will only delay Iran’s nuclear program. Only when Israel’s military action delays Iran’s nuclear program for five years will Israel’s military action be considered successful." If Israel acts alone, Israel’s strength may not be able to do this. Iran has scattered other equipment of its nuclear program into underground bunkers all over the country, and neither American nor Israeli intelligence is sure whether they have all the information about Iran’s nuclear program. Katzman said: "It may happen that the Israelis will attack first and we will finish it. Or they have always thought that only the United States has the strength to permanently suppress Iran’s nuclear program. " (China Network, July 13 th, Huang Huan)
