2024 BMW I7 M70 — DRIVING THE MOST POWERFUL 7 SERIES EVER MADE

EV Channels Review

The 2024 BMW i7 M70 is presented as the pinnacle of the 7 Series electric lineup, boasting 650 horsepower and 811 lb-ft of torque. The reviewer highlights its "earth-shattering" acceleration, noting it's significantly faster than other 7 Series variants, including the petrol-powered 760i. While the reviewer appreciates the immense power and the serene, quiet cabin characteristic of luxury EVs, they find the driving dynamics in sport mode can feel a bit "floaty" and the steering remains surprisingly light. A point of contention is the "gimmicky" nature of some integrated features, particularly the "Expressive Mode," which combines sound, massage, and other settings in a way that feels overly intrusive and difficult to customize independently. Despite these criticisms, the reviewer ultimately expresses a strong liking for the i7 M70, praising its speed, comfort, and the unique theatrical experience it offers, especially with the Hans Zimmer sound effects. The car is seen as a strong contender in the luxury EV space, offering a blend of performance and opulence, though some purists might miss a V12 engine.
