WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J. — The most powerful all-electric (EV) BMW model: BMW M is introducing an all-electric performance model to spearhead the new BMW 7 Series range. The BMW i7 M70 xDrive (electric power consumption combined: 23.8 – 20.8 kWh/100 km in the WLTP cycle) is the most powerful model with an all-electric drive system in the overall BMW Group portfolio.
Equipped with an electric motor at both the front and rear axle generating a maximum system output of 485 kW/660 hp* and an M-specific chassis, the new BMW i7 M70 xDrive delivers the perfect combination of electric mobility and performance, resulting in a driving experience unique in the luxury segment.
The range-topping model of the new BMW 7 Series line-up accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.7 seconds, making it the fastest all-electric BMW model. Top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h (155 mph).
This ultimate electric driving machine features unique braking components. The blue M Sport brakes with M logo fitted as standard come with large brake discs for increased stopping power.
Brake calipers painted in black are available as part of the optional M Performance package.
This is also the first time that sport tires have been offered as an option for a purely electrically powered 7 Series model. The standard 21-inch M light-alloy wheels on the new BMW i7 M70 xDrive feature an exclusive, aerodynamically optimized design with a Jet Black solid finish and high-gloss metal inserts.
Comfort and safety are elevated another notch by advanced systems for automated driving (ADAS/AV) and parking. For example, the Parking Assistant and Manoeuvre Assistant can now also be controlled remotely using the My BMW App. This allows customers to enter and exit tight parking spaces with significantly greater ease.
