NEW BMW 7 SERIES M70 REVIEW!

EV Channels Review

The BMW i7 M70 is presented as a performance-oriented version of the luxury electric sedan, boasting a more aggressive aesthetic and significant power upgrades over the standard i7. While the M70 delivers brutal, neck-snapping acceleration and competent handling thanks to retuned suspension, M Sport brakes, and rear-wheel steering, the reviewer questions its necessity in a luxury limousine. The handling upgrades, while present, are not deemed substantial enough to transform it into a true M performance car, with the car's considerable weight ultimately limiting its cornering grip. The reviewer highlights that the primary reason to opt for the M70 is its performance, but suggests that for pure electric acceleration, a Tesla Model S Plaid is both cheaper and quicker, though its availability in right-hand drive is a caveat. The interior largely mirrors the standard i7's luxury, with subtle M touches. Ultimately, the reviewer advises avoiding the M70 unless in the UK market where the Model S Plaid's RHD unavailability makes the i7 M70 a more compelling, albeit expensive, proposition for those seeking enhanced performance in a luxury EV.
