Adding up to a total of RM63,864.42, the M Performance parts can be purchased separately, depending on how extreme you would like your i5 eDrive40 to look. And although it may end up looking sportier than the higher-performance i5 M60, one quick telltale sign that it isn’t the M60 would be its grille which is still the standard grille for the i5 and not the “M” grille that the i5 M60 has.
No M Performance parts are available for the interior, thus you still get the same M Sport cabin with the M Leather steering wheel, M Anthracite headliner, Dark silver M accents combined with aluminium rhombicle, and the BMW Individual Leather ‘Merino’.
The optional kit is purely cosmetic and as such, the performance levels of the i5 Drive40 remain the same. It is still the same rear-wheel drive (RWD) single-motor electric sedan that puts out 340 PS and 400 Nm. with this setup, the i5 eDrive40 M Sport is capable of a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 6 seconds.
