Introducing the 2024 BMW i7 M70 xDrive

[DO444]

That’s just a horrid color.
But these cars are very, very cool.

Having sat in a 7 series recently I was completely wowed with how nice it was to be in.

Badass, exterior colors could use some work though. Stop trying to be Rolls Royce for beat results

The new 7 may not look great in pictures but when you see it in person it is imposing and it has strong presence. It looks and feels like a class above. You sit taller and the car is bigger in every dimension compared to its predecessor. Some of the Rolls (which BMW owns) qualities have rubbed on to the 7.

hm... interesting that there is a flap just in front of the driver side door...

the i7 here (europe) i saw has the charging port on the passenger side in the back
this i7 has two flaps... hm, is that "not a i7 m70" that is used for the presentation?

(i really HATE that the charging port on the passenger side - which idiot's idea was that???)

This is pure curiosity on my part as I do not have a i7 but an ICE 760, but why is the charging port on passenger side a problem? (Gas tank filler on BMWs is on passenger side). (Some day I will have an electric car)

[ewoody]

The two charging ports exists only for the China model… Front must be AC and back should be DC… I‘ve been told…

All opinions are quite valid, but if the "price" is right for you, I'm sure anyone will buy it regardless of previous opinions he/she posted.

gas: i drive to the pump and park so that i can access the flap easy
electro: i will touch the ploug 2x when driving: disconnect/connect AND the issue is that in most parkings the parking fields are narrow. so unless you have three spaces and only two cars, it's fine - if you have three cars or only two spaces - good luck if you not park that you can pass the car on both sides...

it's a usability thing

[AGONXF30]

The front overhang is what kills it for me. If this thing did not have such overhang it would be a much nicer design.

Swedish pricing

i7 60 from 1651000kr
i7 60 M-sport pro from 1766000kr
i7 M70 from 1826000kr

The difference is 3,4% and then I don’t know if there are more things standard on the M70 so it might be even closer in price difference.

ok Qanon boy, this is not the place. Don't like it don't buy it.

I work in global logistics, sourcing, composites and other types of aerospace goods- I am also an environmentalist, I suggest you read up on where cobalt and lithium comes from, how it’s mined, how it’s destroyed, how it has to be stored after use etc…..then come talk to me about your EV cars.

Don't like it don't buy it...this is not the place to argue about EV environmental impact. Why don't YOU learn to read, properly

Your response above is indicative of somebody who knows nothing but talks shit on forums- do some research.

Here is some research: 7 series sales just about doubled 1Q 2023 over 1Q 2022.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion but not everybody agrees with you. You don't like the car, don't buy the car. But please don't come here for the purpose of insulting either the intelligence or the taste of those of us who have bought one. That's just a waste of time.

The reason BMW, Merc, and Others do this is cause they worked so hard to build these High Performance Brands but they slap 10+ M-Badges on cars just to get some more Sales. These brands are all about Volume and Sales.

LOL - so funny! Of course, you're right; but conversely that's ONE hella-good-looking battery! Irrespective of subjective color choices, architecturally, there's just that extra something -- lagniappe as they say in N'awlins -- in the edgy yet luxurious presence of all the 2023/4 Series 7. Perhaps not for everybody, but I can only satisfy myself and what I like. And soon here, I guess I will. :-)

I'm new here so yes, I realize I'm late to the "looks" party.
