I7 vs M760i 2023 G70

Spencenyc · 08-30-2022, 10:14 AM

Hi fellow BMW enthusiasts….

I'm in a 2019 BMW M8 Coupe and need a larger vehicle for the family. I'm having trouble deciding between the I7 m-sport or the 760i m-sport

Has anyone heard the exhaust of the fuel version of the new 7 series? I'd love to see a video of what the 8 cylinder sounds like. Any links would be welcome!

While pricing of gas concerns me, I don't drive much (15 miles per day) "battery anxiety" is a real thing and I'm weighing EV vs petrol. Anyone else in the same boat?

I feel the same about range; I don't think the infrastructure is quite there yet. As for exhaust note, thats going to be hard to get as the cars are not coming until late this year at earliest. As far as I know none have been delivered in the US yet.

I imagine the 7er will sound similar to the X7 M60i. In my opinion BMW V8's aren't the best sounding of all V8's available but they are nice to drive, although reliability has always faired worse compared to the bread and butter I6's.

I'd personally opt for the i7 as EV's make the best luxury cars due to their non-existent NVH and smooth drives. And if you don't drive much, range shouldn't be an issue honestly.

When you only drive 15miles a day, the i7 is the much better choice. ICE is not efficient for short commutes while BEV is. How does range anxiety will become an argument with only 15miles a day actually?
