BMW\u2019s first electric 5 series sedan, the i5<\/a>, is days away from making its global debut. Before its official release, a new image of the BMW i5 was leaked, and from the first look, the electric sedan is impressive.<\/p>\n

BMW i5 finally comes alive as new image emerges<\/h2>\n

After teasing the i5 for over six years now<\/a>, we are finally getting our first glimpse of BMW\u2019s first fully electric five series. <\/p>\n

At the annual BMW conference in March, the automaker previewed the new electric sedan<\/a>, with CEO Oliver Zipse claiming it will give them a \u201ctruly unique selling point.\u201d <\/p>\n

BMW says the i5 will take its traditional place in the German automaker\u2019s lineup, sitting between the i4 and the luxury i7<\/a> launched last year. The new model is \u201cmore dynamic and more comfortable than ever,\u201d featuring BMW\u2019s Operating system 8.5, curved display (also found in the iX electric SUV), and state-of-the-art digital services. <\/p>\n

The premium automaker teased camoflouged images<\/a> of the new model last month testing at BMW\u2019s proving grounds in Southern France, claiming it was in the \u201chome strech.\u201d <\/p>\n

A new image of the BMW i5 emerged on social media Thursday, finally revealing the face and design of the EV model. The image below, posted on Instagram<\/a> by user liucuny-starandcar, reveals the new i5 in its full.<\/p>\n

As you can see, the new electric sedan features a cleaner front end as opposed to the typical bulky BMW profile we are used to, although the hood does still look rather long. Keep in mind, this is only from one angle.<\/p>\n

You can see the automakers iconic kidney grille, looking as big as ever. The i5 looks more aerodynamic and slimmer than the larger i7 but incorporates a similar design. <\/p>\n

Over the past year, BMW has taken the i5 across a range of extreme conditions including snow and ice in Sweden, extreme heat, city and country roads, and other test tracks to prepare it for its big debut.<\/p>\n

BMW has also said it will bolster the electric sedan\u2019s advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) with high-res cameras, radar sensors, and other refined software. The electric i5 is expected to be officially unveiled this month with production beginning this summer and deliveries to follow in October.<\/p>\n
