Gearbox Type: Single-Speed Automatic
The i5 utilizes a single-speed fixed-ratio transmission. This setup is integrated directly with the electric motor in a compact housing, reducing mechanical drag and weight while ensuring that the driver never feels a gear shift, resulting in a perfectly refined executive ride.
Drive Type: Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD)
True to its heritage, the i5 eDrive40 is Rear-Wheel Drive, preserving the iconic BMW steering feel and handling balance. It features a standard rear-axle air suspension to maintain a level ride height regardless of the load, ensuring comfort on varied road surfaces.
