I tested a 2024 BMW i5 M60 xDrive last week, and I have thoughts. The all-electric i5 is not cheap, starting at $84,100 and checking out at $93,495 as-tested.

Perhaps the first electric sub-brand was BMW’s i series, which included the i3 hatchback and i8 plug-in hybrid sports coupe. BMW’s electric i sub-brand started with the quirky i3.
