BMW has debuted the India-spec i5 LWB in India, with bookings now open and launch slated for the coming weeks. The i5 LWB is not the first of the i5 nameplate to be available in the Indian market, as BMW has been selling the performance-focused standard-wheelbase i5 M60 here since 2024. Where the i5 M60 is a fully imported model, though, the i5 LWB will be locally assembled, allowing BMW to price it more competitively.
