  • Is our BMW i5 Touring too clever for its own good?

    By Ben Whitworth| CAR Verified ► Does the i5 overcomplicate things? ► 340bhp in total► Read month 2There’s much to enjoy about i5 ownership. It’s utterly intuitive to drive, with superb refinement. The ride quality is impressively relaxed and smooth, with only the worst ruts and ridges disturbing the calm of the cabin. The steering and pedals are perfectly calibrated, the seats delightfully soothing. Whether it’s nosing around town at 20mph or digging deep into its motorway capabilities, you feel protected from the world outside.
