More about the BMW i5
Inside, the i5 blends advanced digital innovation with premium comfort and driving precision. Its interior is dominated by a sleek curved display integrating the latest infotainment and digital instrument cluster, enhanced with voice control and seamless smartphone connectivity.
Thoughtful design ensures both comfort and engagement, while the low-mounted battery contributes to excellent weight distribution and a low centre of gravity for agile handling. The eDrive40 accelerates from 0–62 mph in around 6 seconds, while the high-performance M60 xDrive delivers significantly faster response. Neither option is short on power to handle your towing needs.
What's my Towing Capacity?
The BMW i5 can tow up to a maximum braked weight of 2,000kg depending on the model. To confirm your vehicle’s exact capacity, check the VIN plate which is usually located in one of the door frames.
Which Towbar is best for my BMW i5?
We currently offer the detachable swan neck towbar for the i5. This design incorporates the towball into the neck of the towbar for a more compact design which is compatible with ALKO stabilisers. The neck is able to be removed when not in use, avoiding the potential for interference with parking sensors when not towing and keeping impact on the vehicle’s aesthetics to a minimum.
Will it need a bumper cut?
The BMW i5 requires a non-visible cut, minimising the effect of a towbar fitting on the vehicle and allowing the towbar to remain invisible whilst the neck is detached.
