BMW\u2019s i7<\/a> electric sedan is getting a performance upgrade from the masterminds at BMW M. The up- to-660-horsepower BMW i7 M70 xDrive is setting new internal records as its fastest, most powerful EV model yet. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Last April, the German luxury automaker released its first fully electric 7 series<\/a>, the i7, with over 300 miles range and top-of-the-line luxury features, including an impressive 31-inch \u201ctheatre screen,\u201d massaging seats, a panoramic sunroof, and more.<\/p>\n

After rolling out in Europe and China, BMW\u2019s electric sedan landed at US dealerships in the fourth quarter last year.<\/p>\n

After delivering nearly 65,000 fully electric vehicles in the first three months of 2023, the BMW Group (including MINI) doubled EV sales<\/a> (+112.4%) again while many EV makers have struggled.<\/p>\n

The i7 has been a hot seller in China and is expected to be a \u201cmain growth driver\u201d alongside its other premium models.<\/p>\n

Although BMW\u2019s CEO has confirmed there will be lower-priced electric models<\/a> in the automaker\u2019s lineup, the i70 M70 performance EV will not be one of them, being the automaker\u2019s most powerful electric vehicle with up to 660 hp.<\/p>\n

BMW releases its fastest fully electric vehicle yet<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s official. The BMW i7 is getting an M performance upgrade. The i7 M70 xDrive<\/a> will be the third and most powerful EV from BMW M. <\/p>\n

With a dual electric motor, all-wheel-drive (AWD) system delivering up to 811 lb-ft (1,100 Nm) of torque and 660 horsepower, the BMW i7 M70 is the fastest, most powerful EV ever produced.<\/p>\n

The big-body BMW can pick up quickly, with 0 to 62 mph (0 to 100km\/h) capabilities in as little as 3.7 seconds when M launch mode or M sport boost function is enabled.<\/p>\n

M sport mode enables performance-specific graphics and BMW Iconic Sounds Electric, an \u201cM Performance specific note.\u201d Sport mode further intensifies the experience with additional sounds.<\/p>\n

Powered by two e-motors and the automaker\u2019s fifth-generation eDrive technology, the BMW i7 M70 is a force. The rear axle motor, in particular, has a power density rating of 2.41 kW\/kg, making it the most dynamic electric motor in BMW\u2019s portfolio.<\/p>\n

With 101.7 kWh of usable energy from the battery, the i7 M70 electric sedan has long-range capabilities of between 303 to 348 WLTP miles (488 to 560 km).<\/p>\n

The performance i7 comes with a max range mode, increasing range by roughly 15% to 25%. However, the EVs top speed is limited to 56 mph (90km\/h), and climate control will be deactivated.<\/p>\n

For the first time, the BMW i7 M70 will come with a unique illuminated kidney iconic glow around the grille. The EV will also include M-specific design features along the flanks, at the rear, and in the interior. <\/p>\n

The i7 M70 will be among the brand\u2019s first models to include the updated BMW operating system 8.5 offering a newly designed home screen and quick select functions.<\/p>\n

For BMW performance fans, the automaker has confirmed it will include a fully electric performance series 5 sedan<\/a>. The i5 is set to launch in October, followed by the M performance version.<\/p>\n
