BMW has announced a series of tweaks, changes and upgrades across its range for 2025.
The changes encompass electric drivetrain upgrades, new engines and new standard and optional equipment across the German brand's portfolio of cars. Highlights include extended battery range for the BMW i5, new powertrain options for the BMW 2 Series Grand Coupe and the BMW X3, and improved charging rates for plug-in hybrids.
We don't yet know which of the cars announced today will come to the UK.
Updated 2025 BMW i5 and i5 Touring: battery range
The upgrades to the BMW i5 and the i5 Touring estate focus on new electronics and efficiency. Thanks to some new components and low-rolling-resistance tyres, there's up to 29 miles of additional range on both models. In addition, the BMW i5 M60 xDrive now comes as standard with the M Sport Pro package, which includes various styling upgrades like an illuminated grille and black exterior highlight.
For those looking at a regular, non-electric 5 Series, all models now get ambient lighting, lumbar support for the front seats and a Harman Kardon sound system.

Two new models have been added to the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe lineup.
