Both are launching this year

BMW will be expanding its electrified options for both the all-electric i5 and the traditional 5 Series. First up will be a third powertrain choice for the i5, the xDrive40, which will slide right between the base eDrive40, and the high-performance M60. And following the i5 will be the 550e xDrive PHEV to provide a bridge between internal combustion and full-electric driving.
