Immerse in the thrill and audacious spectacle of BMW‘s fastest electric M series yet – the BMW i7 M70 xDrive. Posing as an elegant masquerade ball-goer, this version of the electric 7 Series sure knows how to captivate attention and win hearts over with its powerful performance and high-tech features.
Amped-up Performance
Driving the M70’s magic is BMW’s fifth-generation electric drivetrain, with electric motors tweaked from the M60 version. Doubling the stator’s excitation windings has led to the creation of BMW’s most potent electric motor on the rear axle. Coupled with it is a slightly less-powerful e-motor on the front. This All-Wheel-Drive strength propels the i7 to zoom from 0-62mph in just 3.7 seconds, thanks to total system outputs of 650bhp and a whopping 748lb ft of torque – or 811lb ft when in ‘M Launch Control/M Sport Boost’ mode. Top speed is a limited 155mph.
Excellence in Efficiency
The i7 M70 balances power with efficiency, boasting a range of between 303-348 miles (WLTP) with a 101.7kWh (usable) battery on board. Locate a DC charger and the vehicle can accept up to 195kW, translating into 100+ miles of range in just ten minutes. Opt for the MAX RANGE mode and you can extend the M70’s range by up to 15-25 per cent, although this mode does limit top speed to 56mph and turns off seat heating/ventilation and climate control.
Innovative Design and Features
The exterior of the i7 M70 features a blend of sophisticated design elements and M-specific tweaks. Among these are 21-inch alloys and big M brakes, a rejuvenated set of side mirrors, bumper inlays, and logos. You can even illuminate the kidney grille if desired! Step inside and you’re greeted with the i7 cabin, complete with a luxurious Theatre Screen and a proficient Bowers & Wilkins sound system. The new flagship Bimmer also comes with BMW’s latest iDrive – 8.5, and ‘M-specific’ content including unique fonts and colours on the digital display.
All things considered, the BMW i7 M70 is more than just a flagship offering. It’s a dynamic, green advancement that effectively bridges the gulf between sustainability and electrifying performance. So prepare to be enthralled by this mobile cinema’s speed, sophistication and sustainability, all while enjoying an utterly luxurious journey in the BMW i7 M70 xDrive.
