In this episode of Seen Through Glass, we dive into the world of the BMW i5, a car that has been quietly residing in the background of the channel for the past four months. The host reveals the reasons behind choosing this electric beast, citing a fondness for modern BMWs and a desire to explore the realm of electric vehicles. Despite opting for the top-of-the-line M60 variant with a staggering 600 horsepower, the team questions the necessity of such power in their daily lives, highlighting the compromise in range that comes with it.
Taking the i5 for a spin in the bustling streets of London, the team shares their driving impressions, praising the car's comfort and ease of maneuverability. However, they express a sense of unmemorability and blandness in the driving experience, attributing it to the overwhelming power at their disposal. Transitioning to the interior, the team delves into the BMW infotainment system, commending its functionality while drawing comparisons to competitors like Mercedes and Porsche, whose interiors offer a more futuristic and tech-savvy vibe.
Delving deeper into the practical aspects of living with the i5, the team discusses range and charging, shedding light on the challenges faced during the colder months and the gradual improvement as the weather warms up. They touch on the convenience of home charging and the importance of having a reliable charging point, reflecting on past experiences with the public charging network. Overall, Seen Through Glass provides a comprehensive look at their journey with the BMW i5, from initial curiosity to daily practicality, offering insights into the world of electric motoring through their unique lens.
