BMW i5 series, G60 / G61 (EU)

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

BMW i5 series, G60 / G61 (EU) models require automatic transmission fluid with a capacity range of 0,5 to 2,1 liters. The data covers 3 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

TypeSpecifications
  • i5 xDrive40 (2024- )
  • Electric drive
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 0,5-2,1 liter
  • Code: HEAT 220MF, 220LR, 220 XLR 1/1
  • i5 eDrive40 (2023- )
  • Electric drive
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 0,5-2,1 liter
  • Code: HEAT 220MF, 220LR, 220 XLR 1/1
  • i5 M60 xDrive (2023- )
  • Electric drive
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 0,5-2,1 liter
  • Code: HEAT 220MF, 220LR, 220 XLR 1/1

Additional Notes

  • All three configurations in the BMW i5 series G60/G61 (EU) use an e-transmission, which refers to the integrated electric drive unit found in battery-electric and hybrid powertrains rather than a conventional stepped automatic gearbox.
  • The fluid capacity range of 0.5-2.1 liters across all listed variants is notably narrow compared to traditional automatic transmissions, which typically require 6-10 liters or more, reflecting the compact nature of e-transmission lubrication circuits.
  • A capacity stated as a range rather than a fixed value generally indicates a service fill specification, where the actual quantity added depends on the residual fluid remaining in the unit after draining, as opposed to a dry-fill or overhaul figure that assumes a completely empty system.
  • The i5 M60 xDrive and i5 eDrive40 share an identical 0.5-2.1 liter capacity specification under normal use conditions, despite the M60 xDrive being a higher-performance dual-motor variant and the eDrive40 a single-motor rear-drive configuration.
  • The i5 xDrive40, introduced from 2024, carries the same 0.5-2.1 liter e-transmission fluid capacity under normal use conditions as the earlier 2023 variants, indicating a consistent fluid volume requirement across the G60/G61 lineup regardless of drivetrain layout differences.
  • All three variants list normal as the sole use condition, meaning no separate severe-duty interval or capacity figure is specified for any of the listed configurations.
