This zooted-up electric 7-series is more about wants than needs, and there's not much left to add here.
M70 xDrive. On one hand, BMW remains firm in its insistence that a proper M7—one that would follow M's ethos of building road cars from track-borne inspiration—isn't going to happen. On the other hand, the i7 M70 is so thoroughly competent at everything it does that those folks may finally be willing to settle. Maybe. But they should.
That all courses its way to the pavement through single-speed transmissions, express-shipping the i7 M70 to 60 mph in a manufacturer-estimated 3.5 seconds. Consideringshaved four-tenths off BMW's supplied 4.5-second figure, we reckon this half cruise ship/half cruise missile will prove even more unhinged when we test it.
Of course, BMW didn't only go to the gym on leg day. The i7 M70 features a wealth of upgrades meant to improve stability and handling. There's an additional shear panel between the firewall and the strut towers for extra front-end rigidity. Four-corner air springs and electronically controlled dampers are standard, with M adding its touch to the air springs and hydraulics. Rear-axle steering can turn the back wheels up to 2.
But don't think that the pursuit of playing switchback surgeon has in any way compromised the i7. For as capable as the M70 is when hustling, it's just as happy to dial it back and focus on luxuriating. Like its less powerfulsibling, this car will positively glide all day long, soaking up any hint of bad roads and transmitting little motion to the cabin.
