Here are some more links to the i5 reviews published today.
No big surprises here; People generally liked the more subdued styling (compared to i7 and iX), the interior build quality, smooth ride and handling were also high points but the bigger size and weight of the car are still noticeable.

This review mentioned about the different steering ratios between the eDrive40 and M60 variants which I didn't know about before:
"Interestingly, the M60 has a higher steering ratio than the eDrive40 — 15.7:1 compared to 15.2 — but the car feels better balanced and more agile overall."
Thoroughly enjoyed this POV review of the M60 by BMWBLOG:
