MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. There's only one standalone version of the 2025 BMW 5 Series Plug-In Hybrid, and here it is, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.
The highly powerful 550e xDrive plug-in hybrid promises to be the quickest 5 Series outside of the M5, leaving aside the electric i5 range. With 33 miles of electric-only range, it's a useful EV errand-runner, too, letting you leave all of that gas in the tank for longer trips.
