BMW iX5 salary sacrifice
The BMW iX5 is the first fully electric X5. Its UK configurator is live, BMW publishes a starting on-the-road price of £85,375, and the market launch is expected in spring 2027. The 60 xDrive is the initial powertrain; range and charging figures remain provisional, while verified P11D values, individual delivery commitments and employer-provider quotations are still needed.

Confirmed facts
These points are supported by attributable manufacturer or corporate source material.
UK configuration and ordering
BMW UK provides a live Build & Price journey with Request an offer and Buy online actions. Independent reporting dated 8 October says the new range is on sale. BMW still expects the UK market launch in spring 2027; an exact first-delivery date is not established.
Published UK starting price
BMW's UK press information and configurator publish a starting on-the-road price of £85,375 for the iX5 60 xDrive. The exact electric engine cards observed on 10 October show M Sport from £89,355 and M Sport Pro from £91,525. The supplied Pine Grey M Sport configuration totals £90,305 OTR, including its £950 paint option. These amounts are not verified P11D values.
Powertrain and equipment remain separate
The initial electric powertrain is 60 xDrive, with all-wheel drive. M Sport and M Sport Pro are equipment choices, while paint, wheels, upholstery and optional packs remain configuration choices within the iX5 family.
Five-seat large SUV
BMW UK describes seating for five adults. Final UK configuration-specific technical data remains pending.
Provisional information
Manufacturer targets and early specifications may change. Check the final UK version before comparing costs or capability.
Updated provisional range
BMW's current UK model page and M Sport technical table quote 474 to 528 miles WLTP, with 528 miles shown for the supplied configuration. Older wording on the same model page still gives 401 to 525 miles. The figures remain provisional rather than certified configuration evidence.
Battery and charging evidence
The current UK technical page and configurator show 141.2 kWh battery capacity, up to 460 kW DC charging, 10 to 80% in 23 minutes, and 185 to 226 miles added in ten minutes under the stated test conditions. The configurator does not resolve the gross versus usable battery basis; retain these as provisional manufacturer figures.
Provisional performance and dimensions
BMW quotes 425 kW (578 hp), 805 Nm and 0 to 62 mph in 4.6 seconds for the 60 xDrive. The supplied M Sport configuration shows 4,998 mm length, 2,000 mm width excluding mirrors and 1,748 mm height. Final UK homologation and configuration-specific data remain pending.
Exact trim prices require reconciliation
Some secondary reporting assigns the £85,375 and £89,355 prices to M Sport and M Sport Pro respectively, while the inspected BMW engine card identifies £89,355 as M Sport. The broader model cards also mix electric, plug-in hybrid and diesel starting prices. Use the exact selected electric version and a dated quotation rather than transferring a card price between grades.
Conflicting provisional luggage figures
BMW's current UK model page gives 650 to 1,850 litres of rear luggage capacity, while its technical page and the supplied M Sport configuration give 655 to 1,850 litres. BMW also lists 53 litres of front storage. Preserve the differing rear figures until final UK specification resolves them.

How should you use this information?
Consider your replacement date, everyday journeys, and the choices your employer’s programme supports.
Use the exact configured car
The published starting price, an equipment card and a completed configuration can describe different choices. Check the electric powertrain, equipment grade, factory options and final price breakdown together.
Confirm P11D before calculating
An OTR total or BMW retail finance illustration does not establish a verified P11D value or the employee's salary sacrifice cost. Obtain the exact P11D and a dated quotation from the employer's appointed provider.
Plan around a written delivery estimate
A live configurator does not guarantee an individual spring-2027 handover. Confirm allocation, build timing and delivery before committing to a replacement date.
