BMW i5 Has Arrived

So my BMW i5 has arrived. It’s an M40 M Sport in tanzanite with the smoky white interior and comfort and technology pack. Car is only on a short term 6 month lease and this is my first time trying electric. I do either local town driving or long distance for work so we will see how we go.

Thoughts so far are its very big, bigger than my old 13 plate 7 series from many years ago. Even though the the base 40 and not the mental M60 it goes well - the instant power when you put your foot down is fun and when you pull the ‘boost’ lever for full power you get this explosion of M colours having a party on the dash which is quite addictive and makes you feel like a school boy. Drives very ‘BMW’ though you can feel the weight through the bends. So far so good and we’ll see how we go..
