Unveiled at Auto Shanghai 2023, the i7 M70<\/a> is the second member of the global electric 7 Series lineup. However, BMW is selling a third version in China where the eDrive50L does away with xDrive by losing the front-mounted electric motor. The rear-wheel-drive version serves as the entry-level model, slotting below the xDrive60L. Despite the \u201cL\u201d in their names, these have the same wheelbase as all G70 models.<\/p>\n

So, how much power and performance are you sacrificing? Well, the i7 eDrive50L has to make do with 450 hp (335 kW) and 650 Nm (478 lb-ft). Compared to the xDrive60<\/a>, it\u2019s down on power by 86 hp (65 kW) and 95 Nm (70 lb-ft). The lesser electric 7er does 0 to 62 mph (100 km\/h) in 5.5 seconds, thus making it 0.8 seconds slower than the dual-motor, all-wheel-drive version. Top speed also takes a hit, decreasing from 146 mph (235 km\/h) to 127 mph (205 km\/h).<\/p>\n

The price difference between the two is substantial taking into account the i7 eDrive50L starts at \uffe5949,000 ($138,000) whereas the i7 xDrive60 begins from \uffe51,459,000 ($212,000). The new i7 M70 will be offered locally, with pricing details to be announced closer to launch. As a reminder, the M Performance model has 650 hp and 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft) to lower the sprint time to 3.7 seconds and increase the top speed to 155 mph (250 km\/h).<\/p>\n

Another EV exclusive to the Chinese market is the i3, but not the quirky hatchback we all know. Instead, it\u2019s a fully electric 3 Series<\/a> based on the locally made long-wheelbase sedan. It\u2019s offered only with rear-wheel drive (eDrive35L and eDrive40L). BMW also produces the iX3 in China, but the crossover is exported to many countries around the world.<\/p>\n

Beyond EVs, BMW makes long-wheelbase versions of the X1 and X5 SUVs in the People\u2019s Republic, along with a stretched 5 Series. In the near future, it\u2019ll commence production of the next-generation electric MINI Cooper three-door hatchback, with an EV-only Aceman subcompact crossover<\/a> due in 2024.<\/p>\n
