BMW India has unleashed its inaugural fully electric M-badged marvel, the 2024 BMW i7 M70 xDrive in the Indian market. The new i7 M70 xDrive starts at Rs. 2.50 crore (ex-showroom, Delhi).

The result is a power-packed vehicle that boasts more power and a slew of aesthetic enhancements over the i7 xDrive60.

Exterior Elegance

The 2024 BMW i7 M70 xDrive retains its iconic illuminated grille, characterized by vertical slats, and features split LED headlamps with DRLs, flush-fitting door handles, slim LED tail lamps, and a dual-tone exterior paint finish. The M badge graces the front grille, setting the tone for the car’s sporty prowess. Additionally, you’ll find M-specific elements such as side skirts, front side panels, ORVMs, and a rear spoiler. The M70 rides on striking 21-inch M light-alloy wheels, adding a touch of grandeur to its appearance.

Interior Opulence

Inside the cabin, the M70 mirrors the standard i7 in terms of features. It offers a twin-screen setup for infotainment and instrument display, multi-zone climate control, gesture control, wireless charging, and a 36-speaker Bowers and Wilkins audio system.

Notably, it showcases a 31.3-inch retractable infotainment screen and 5.5-inch touchscreen control panels on the rear doors. To enhance the sporty ambiance, the M70 comes equipped with illuminated M door sills, M Merino Leather trim in Black or Atlas Grey upholstery, an M leather steering wheel, and a specialized M footrest.

Electrifying Performance

Under the hood, the 2024 BMW i7 M70 xDrive houses the same 101.7 kWh battery pack as the i7 xDrive60. However, it significantly ramps up the power output, delivering a remarkable 650 bhp and 1,015 Nm of peak torque.

The electrifying acceleration propels the car from 0 to 100 kmph in a claimed 3.7 seconds, a full second quicker than the standard model. The M70 boasts a top speed of 250 kmph and offers an impressive range of 560 km (WLTP). Charging the vehicle from 10 to 80 percent can be achieved in just 34 minutes when using a 195 kW DC fast charger.
