BMW eDRIVE -> Energy-saving driving and maximizing the range for your BMW i5 2023-2025

BMW eDRIVE  
NOTES  
Energy recovery  
The high-voltage battery is charged while driv-  
ing through energy recovery.  
Trip planning and special functions of  
the navigation system  
Several special functions of the navigation sys-  
tem support trip planning taking into account  
the electric range:  
The electric motors act as alternators and con-  
vert the kinetic energy of the vehicle into elec-  
trical energy.  
The current range can be displayed in the  
navigation system map view.  
The high-voltage battery can be charged while  
driving in different situations:  
When entering a destination, charging sta-  
tions can be selected as points of interest.  
The navigation system helps you to find  
and add a charging station along the de-  
sired route.  
The accelerator pedal is depressed less or  
only slightly.  
The accelerator pedal is not depressed.  
Additional information:  
Displays in the instrument cluster  
The displays on the instrument cluster provide  
information about the current state of the drive  
and visualize the system's use.  
Owner's Manual for Navigation, Entertain-  
ment, and Communication, refer to page 6.  
While driving  
Additional information:  
Activate Efficient mode to increase the ve-  
hicle range.  
Displays, refer to page 143.  
Efficient mode, refer to page 312.  
Energy-saving driving and  
maximizing the range  
Note the information on the expected  
range.  
Range prediction, refer to page 160.  
General information  
Note the information on the current driving  
condition.  
Energy-saving driving is the basic prerequisite  
for as large a range as possible. eDRIVE pro-  
vides various functions that assist with an  
energy-saving driving style. The eDRIVE func-  
tions assist in checking the range and increase  
it, if necessary.  
Displays in the Live Vehicle menu, driving  
condition, refer to page 162.  
Note the information on the range.  
Increasing the range, refer to page 311.  
Note the information on the driving style.  
Driving mode Efficient, refer to page 312.  
Activate adaptive energy recovery.  
Before driving  
eDRIVE allows pre-conditioning of the vehicle  
before starting the trip. The stationary climate  
control provides more range than using full air  
conditioning while driving.  
Adaptive recuperation, recuperative brak-  
ing, refer to page 311.  
Depending on vehicle equipment: preheat-  
ing/precooling during the charging process can  
provide maximum range when driving off.  
Follow the Efficiency Coach instructions.  
Efficiency trainer, refer to page 313.  
Use battery thermal management to pre-  
pare the vehicle for an upcoming charging.  
Additional information:  
Stationary climate control, refer to page 286.  
Charging process, refer to page 322.

NOTES  
After the trip  
Charge the vehicle and plan the next trip.  
Charge vehicle, refer to page 316.  
Observe preparations extended stationary  
periods.  
Service life of the high-voltage battery, long  
stationary periods, and taking the vehicle  
out of service, refer to page 329.  
BMW app  
The My BMW app provides mobility-based  
services and applications.  
Safety of the high-voltage system  
Follow the information on the safety of the  
high-voltage system.  
Additional information:  
Safety of the high-voltage system, refer to  
page 19.  
Operating noises  
Operating noises may occur due to the elec-  
trical system. For instance, these operating  
noises may occur in the following situations:  
When cooling the high-voltage battery dur-  
ing the charging process.  
When cooling the high-voltage battery with  
the drive-ready state switched on.  
When climatizing the car's interior.  
High-voltage battery, long  
stationary periods  
Observe the information on taking the vehicle  
out of service and on longer idle periods.  
Additional information:  
Service life of the high-voltage battery, long  
stationary periods, refer to page 329.
