New BMW 7 Series M70 review!

This is the BMW i7 M70!

The M70 is the performance version of the premium all-electric i7 released in 2022, and its design is a bit more aggressive with extensive black trim, sportier bumpers and 21-inch alloy wheels as standard with aerodynamic trim.

But if you thought the sporty upgrades would translate to the cabin, not so much - it’s just as plush as the standard i7, although there are some M tricolour flashes and other M upgrades in there to keep it interesting.

However, with the M70’s impressive power upgrade comes an eye-watering price hike!

So is it worth the extra expense? Mat has all the answers for you to see if it stacks up against the Mercedes-AMG EQS 53+!

It looks like one of those Chinese 'luxury' cars that are an amalgamation of multiple European luxury sedans, yet, manages to make them all appear in their worst possible way. Great job BMW!

2.7 tons?! Next version will require me to have a truck drivers license ...

The backseat is with out a doubt the best place to be. Those seats and the screen, really neat

Man I remember the M5 back in 06 did 0-60 in 4.5 secs. That was unheard of for a Sedan. Now this car the size of an submarine is putting out a 0-60 like a high end sports car 😅. Man what a time to be alive lol.

Saw the thumbnail…
BMW really just said: Hmm I think we need a bigger grill to make it look better

Don’t even try to claim its exterior design as beautiful it’s not it just looks horrendous

[Luka-uzot]

I wonder if mat is trying to break the world record for most cameras on his windshield

[djentyboi]

It’s still not good looking in my eyes, but it has some cool features for sure

I’m still not yet sure about the exterior looks but it does seem to have presence on the road. However, the drive, tech and interior look fantastic.

I really miss nice dial design, now it's just like 'stick a boring screen on the dash and they'll be happy'. Not happy.

BMW Design ethos : lets make everything look like a brick.

[nicholasrigg]

Totally agree, don't bother with mega performance, but instead chase better efficiency and improving charging curve

[ivoparada]

Great to have you here in Portugal, Mat!!

The brand new 5 series was filming the m70 on the road. Expecting the video soon😎

[phearle]

It definitely has a presence. Full size luxury sedan, EQS and Plaid are different classes

[filipealves]

Hope you enjoyed our roads/weather/food Mat! 😎

I dunno about all that crystal stuff. It looks like a TK Maxx upgrade

[andrewmyerscough]

I have seen a few of these over the last couple of weeks, and one was immediately behind a Merc EQS. The Beemer looked so much better and had a road presence, unlike the blancmange in front, which looked like it had been too close to a fire and had melted.

I was in the market for a sedan. The BMW i7 is a total length of 212 inches which is a little too long for me since my garage isn’t that deep, so I went with a 2012 Honda Civic instead

[mihneafrincu]

The 5 series at 3:27 absolutely made my day 🎉

[skankhunt]

It's the fast Autobahn travel model...

But insane how BMW manage to get so much traction from such a tank!
There aren't many car makers out there, who are able to control 2.8 tons in that manner.
Brutal and impressive, those motors would rip apart my van with that punch 😮
