I LOVE PERFORMANCE AND TECH AND THE BMW I7 M70 IS LOADED WITH BOTH: BUT SHOULD I LOVE THIS CAR?

EV Channels Review

The 2024 BMW i7 M70 is presented as a loaded performance and tech-focused luxury sedan, contrasting with a previous "grumpy guy review." The reviewer, Alex, highlights its impressive straight-line acceleration, achieving 0-60 mph in a claimed 3.5 seconds with 650 horsepower and up to 811 lb-ft of torque in M Sport Boost mode. Despite its substantial weight (over 6,000 lbs), the i7 M70 offers a remarkably comfortable and "floaty" ride, absorbing road imperfections with minimal impact felt inside. The interior is praised for its extensive technology, including a striking light bar, a massive touchscreen with Apple CarPlay integration, and luxurious rear-seat amenities like reclining massaging seats and a fold-down Fire TV screen. While the reviewer appreciates the tech, he acknowledges that some might find it fiddly, citing an instance where the window repeatedly closed during a conversation. The design, particularly the controversial kidney grille and two-tone paint, is noted as a head-turner. The reviewer finds the car to be a comfortable, quick, and technologically advanced experience, though he stops short of a full "thumbs up," suggesting it's more for being chauffeured than for spirited driving.
