2026 BMW i7 M70 xDRIVE (G70) — NORTH AMERICAN MARKET SPECIFICATION

Electric Drive and Drivetrain

The i7 M70 xDrive is a battery-electric saloon using two current-excited synchronous motors, one on each axle, for BMW M xDrive all-wheel drive with fully variable torque distribution. Peak output is 485 kW (659 PS / 650 hp) with up to 1,015 Nm of torque available on the M Sport Boost and Launch Control functions. Each motor drives through a single-speed reduction gear, so there is no multi-ratio gearbox. Adaptive recuperation adjusts regenerative braking to the road situation, and a B mode allows one-pedal driving.

Battery and Charging

Energy is stored in a lithium-ion high-voltage battery of 105.7 kWh gross capacity, of which 101.7 kWh is usable, mounted flat in the floor. BMW quotes a WLTP range of up to 560 km; the corresponding EPA-cycle figure used in North America is approximately 274 miles. The pack accepts AC charging and DC rapid charging, with route-based battery preconditioning through BMW Maps.

Chassis, Steering and Brakes

The car rides on adaptive two-axle air suspension with automatic self-levelling and electronically controlled dampers, with Integral Active Steering turning the rear wheels with or against the fronts depending on speed, and M-specific chassis tuning. Braking combines internally ventilated discs at both axles with regenerative braking through the drive motors. Tyres are staggered at 255/40 R21 front and 285/35 R21 rear.

Dimensions and Capacities

Overall length is 5,391 mm on a 3,215 mm wheelbase, with a width of 1,950 mm excluding mirrors and a height of 1,544 mm.
