2024 BMW i5 Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2024 BMW i5 covers a battery-electric four-door sedan built in three forms: eDrive40, M60 and M60 xDrive. There is no combustion engine to service here, so the manual's weight falls on high-voltage handling, brake and chassis work, and on the wiring diagrams and diagnostic routines that a car controlled this thoroughly by software asks for when something stops behaving as it should. Each trim is treated as its own set of equipment rather than as a variation left to the reader.

Known issues on the 2024 i5. Seven recalls sit on the federal record for this model year. In several, broken welds or a fault inside the integrated brake system cost power brake assist and rear braking and leave the antilock and stability control functions unreliable. In another, thin weld seams in a high-voltage battery module let it overheat and risk fire. A third covers drive motor software that can shut the high-voltage system down and cut drive power. Owners have filed 20 complaints, led by service brakes with 6, the electrical system with 3 and steering with 2 — all systems this manual documents.
