BMW Closing In On Decision For Production i5

The i range of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles from BMW got off to a strong start with the compact i3 and performance-oriented i8 launched almost on top of each other in 2013, but the wait for a third model line has been a long one.

That’s set to change soon though, with BMW said to be in the final stages of selecting which body style the coming i5 will wear.

The final decision has been narrowed down to either a medium sedan, in the mould of BMW’s 3 Series, designed to go head to head with Tesla’s as yet unseen Model 3, or an MPV - a model with greater impact in Europe than other international markets.
