In all likelihood, yes. It cannot be said for certain yet, but at this point we could expect a lineup very similar to the G70 7 Series which will precede the G60 5 Series by one year - heavy on EV and PHEV, light on gas and diesel.

Might be a stupid question but just clarifying because the way I've seen some articles worded makes it seem like there will only be fully electric and hybrid models for the 5.
At this early date it is best to ignore language used by the media that implies certainty about the model lineup. We don't know yet, and they don't know yet either.

What we do know is that BMW will continue to sell combustion vehicles into next decade. As we move past 2025 and on toward 2030, we will see the majority of those become PHEV. Furthermore, we'll see their share of BMW's sales decrease steadily in favor of BEV.
