BMW I7 VS THE BMW 760: IS BMW'S BEST ULTRA LUXURY SEDAN ELECTRIC?

EV Channels Review

The reviewer compares the BMW i7 and the 760xi, highlighting their shared luxury and comfort. While both offer an executive saloon experience with a wafty, bank-vault-like ride over imperfections, the i7 distinguishes itself with its silent, instant electric power delivery, which the reviewer finds safer and more satisfying than the 760xi's engine response, despite the latter's satisfying engine note. Key criticisms of the i7 include a quirk where the car defaults to 'D' mode after reversing instead of the preferred 'B' (regen) mode, and a significant visibility issue caused by the optional theater screen blocking the rear-view mirror. The reviewer praises BMW's strategy of making the electric and internal combustion models very similar, allowing buyers to choose based on lifestyle rather than styling. Ultimately, the reviewer leans towards the i7 for its daily convenience and quieter ride, but acknowledges the 760xi remains an excellent choice.
