BMW I7 G70 - FULL REVIEW OF THE ALL NEW 7-SERIES !

EV Channels Review

The BMW i7 M70 is presented as the ultimate electric flagship, boasting the most powerful electric BMW powertrain to date. The review highlights its striking exterior design, particularly the optional two-tone paint in Liquid Copper and Sapphire, which the reviewer finds surprisingly effective. Inside, the M70 trim offers a luxurious experience with an M steering wheel and premium seating, though an animal-free seat option is noted as unavailable for this specific trim. The reviewer praises the advanced cockpit with its curved display and ambient lighting bar, but points out the over-reliance on screen controls for functions like window shades and climate, which can feel cumbersome. Rear-seat passengers are treated to an executive lounge experience, complete with a Theatre Mode Fire TV screen, though the stiffer suspension setup of the M70, compared to the standard i7, is noted to be more noticeable for rear occupants. Performance is a strong suit, with impressive acceleration figures (0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds) and agile handling aided by rear-axle steering. However, the M70 is thirstier than the standard i7, resulting in a reduced real-world range of approximately 430 km (270 miles) compared to the standard model's 500 km (300 miles). Ultimately, while the M70 offers immense power and luxury, the reviewer suggests that for pure comfort, especially for rear passengers, a standard i7 with smaller wheels might be a more suitable choice.
