We haven't driven the i7 yet. On paper, confirm Highway Assistant mapped-motorway coverage on your regular routes. Optional 22 kW AC charging is worth specifying if you have three-phase at home. No frunk on the i7.

Why consider it

  • 615 km WLTP on the eDrive50 leads the full-size electric sedan segment.
  • The 31-inch BMW Theatre Screen is unmatched rear-seat entertainment in any sedan.
  • The M70 xDrive 485 kW dual motor with 1,015 Nm hits 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds.

What to know

  • At $306,900 plus on-roads for the only grade, the xDrive60, drive-away pushes well past $330k.
  • 2.7-tonne kerb weight is felt over poor surfaces despite air suspension.
  • DC peak of 195 kW trails Lucid and Porsche on a road trip.

Who it suits

Chauffeur use cases drawn to the 31-inch Theatre Screen and Executive Lounge rear seats, 7 Series upgraders wanting the same shell fully electric, M70 buyers chasing 485 kW EV pace, and audiophiles after the Bowers and Wilkins Diamond standard system.
