I'm interested in both version of the question in the title, i.e. in the topological category and in the smooth category. By a topological immersion I mean a local embedding. I was asking in relation to this question:
https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1801318/dimensions-of-immersions-vs-embeddings
In the very nice answer given in that thread, they work out almost all of the low-dimensional cases for smooth, compact manifolds and smooth immersions/embeddings. The only 'smooth, compact' case not covered by their answer is the one in the title of this question, so it would be interesting to know if there is a compact example, separately.
As a side-question, for topological $4$-manifolds the case of immersion in $\mathbb{R}^5$ is what remains to be fleshed out in the answer to that previous thread. Some relevant questions for that case:
Is every compact $4$-manifold which immerses in $\mathbb{R}^5$ smoothable?
Is there a $4$-manifold that immerses in $\mathbb{R}^5$ but doesn't embed in $\mathbb{R}^6$ (resp. $\mathbb{R}^7$)?
By results of Quinn, every open $4$-manifold is smoothable so it's sufficient to prove the smooth case for non-compact manifolds.
I cross-listed one of these on MSE expecting a quick counterexample, but still no takers. Someone gave a partial answer to the effect of "in high dimensions, codimension-$1$ locally flat immersion implies smoothability":
