The BMW i7 M70 xDrive is a powerful electric BMW model, boasting 650bhp and 1,100Nm of torque. It accelerates from 0-62mph in just 3.7 seconds, making it as fast as the hardcore M4 CSL. The M70 is equipped with M-specific features such as standard-fit M Sport brakes and adaptive air suspension. It also features Active Steering, Active Roll Stabilisation, and Active Roll Comfort as part of the Executive Pro drive package.
The M70 feels more like a status symbol than a true performance car. The i7 is a high-end tech showcase, with BMW’s Quick Select function for the OS8.5 infotainment system. The 102kWh unit delivers a claimed range of 347 miles, and charging at up to 195kW allows for quick recharge. The car also offers excellent comfort, with BMW’s Theatre Screen option and advanced touchscreen controls. However, at over £160,000, the i7 is a pricey car that few will value.
