BMW 7 SERIES M MODELS

The 2026 BMW 7 Series M Models are the M-badged flagship derivatives of the facelifted (G70 LCI) BMW 7 Series, sold in the United Kingdom in right-hand-drive as the fully electric BMW i7 M70 xDrive and the petrol plug-in hybrid BMW M760e xDrive Saloon. Both are four-door luxury saloons finished with the full M Sport dynamic and visual package — Adaptive M Chassis Control Professional two-axle adaptive air suspension, Integral Active Steering, and bespoke M exterior detailing — layered over the standard 7 Series' long-wheelbase CLAR platform. The UK range spans seven order codes across the two powertrains: i7 M70 xDrive, i7 M70 xDrive Executive Lounge, i7 M70 xDrive Ultimate Edition, i7 M70 xDrive Ultimate Edition Executive Lounge, M760e xDrive, M760e xDrive Executive Pack and M760e xDrive Ultimate Pack. This is a separate, M-badged line-up alongside the standard 7 Series models (740i, 740d, 750e, i7 xDrive50 and i7 xDrive60), which are covered elsewhere. Per BMW UK, production and delivery of the i7 M70 xDrive are expected in the second half of 2026, and the M760e xDrive Saloon becomes available to order from 30 September 2026 — the specification below reflects BMW's published data for the model entering UK supply through 2026 and should be treated as the current factory specification, with any as-yet-unconfirmed detail flagged as provisional.

Powertrains & Variants

The M Models come in two distinct powertrain families — one fully electric, one a petrol plug-in hybrid — each offered across a base grade and one or two comfort/specification packs. Every derivative is xDrive all-wheel drive with M-tuned chassis electronics as standard.

BMW i7 M70 xDrive

The i7 M70 xDrive is the performance flagship of BMW's electric 7 Series, using a dual electric motor xDrive layout producing a combined 500 kW (680 hp) and 1,100 Nm. It draws from a 112.5 kWh usable (118.1 kWh gross) battery for a WLTP range of 373-426 miles (600-686 km) and a combined consumption figure of 19.7 kWh/100 km. Seating is for five occupants in a body finished 5,391 mm long, with a 3,215 mm wheelbase shared across the M Models range.

BMW M760e xDrive Saloon

The M760e xDrive pairs a 3.0-litre M TwinPower Turbo straight-six petrol engine (B58, 2,998 cc, 313 kW / 426 hp at 5,600 rpm, 540 Nm at 1,980-5,400 rpm) with an electric motor integrated into the 8-speed Steptronic Sport automatic transmission, for a combined system output of 450 kW (612 hp) and 800 Nm. An 18.7 kWh battery delivers a WLTP electric-only range of 69-80 km, with combined fuel consumption of 5.6-6.8 l/100 km and CO2 emissions of 128-154 g/km. The saloon carries a 65-litre fuel tank and offers 525 litres of boot space.

Performance

Both models share the same M-specific dynamic hardware: a two-axle adaptive air suspension with active roll stabilisation (Adaptive M Chassis Control Professional), rear-axle Integral Active Steering for low-speed agility and high-speed stability, and an M Sport braking system finished with high-gloss black calipers and monochrome M lettering. Bespoke M My Modes (M Sport and M Sport Plus) sharpen throttle, steering and suspension response, and both models offer a Sport Boost function paired with Launch Control for maximum-attack starts. The M760e's two-part rear diffuser houses four exhaust tailpipes.

Dimensions & Weights

Both models share an identical wheelbase and near-identical footprint, reflecting their common long-wheelbase CLAR platform underpinnings; the M760e is marginally longer to accommodate its combustion powertrain packaging, while the i7 M70 carries a substantially heavier kerb weight owing to its 112.5 kWh battery pack.

Exterior Colours

The M Models are offered in BMW's standard non-metallic and metallic solid paint finishes, plus an extended palette of BMW Individual single-tone colours drawn from the wider G70 7 Series programme. Above that sits the range's signature BMW Individual Two-Tone (Dual-Finish) paint programme, pairing a body colour with a contrasting roof, pillar or lower-body finish — an option exclusive to the flagship M Models and not offered on the standard 7 Series grades. The confirmed BMW Individual Two-Tone combinations for the UK M Models are

• Vancouver Green with Sapphire Black
• Frozen Tanzanite Blue with Frozen Space Silver
• Frozen Tanzanite Blue III with Frozen Space Silver
• Dravit Grey with Oxide Grey II
• Oxide Grey with Sapphire Black
• Frozen Black with Black Sapphire

A further Two-Tone pairing, Vancouver Green with Space Silver, is confirmed by BMW UK as joining the configurator from November 2026, slightly after the initial launch window. All BMW Individual Two-Tone finishes are cost-optional across the range; the classic solid metallic and BMW Individual solid finishes are the standard-fit alternative. BMW's Iconic Glow kidney grille — finished in high-gloss black with an M logo — and BMW Individual Iconic Glow Crystal Headlights are common to the whole range regardless of exterior paint choice, alongside M High-gloss Shadowline trim, M side sills and M side-window badging.

Interior & Trim

Interior upholstery centres on BMW Individual Merino leather, offered in a range of colourways developed specifically for the M Models' Exclusive Content specification. Confirmed BMW Individual Merino colourways include

• Smoke White / Light Grey Merino, Wool and Cashmere (with Exclusive Content)
• Tartufo Merino leather (with Exclusive Content)
• Black
• Adelaide Grey
• Caramel / Atlas Grey

Cabin technology and comfort features are built around BMW Panoramic Vision spanning the full width of the windscreen base, a BMW 3D Head-Up Display, and a Central Display in Free-Cut Design flanked by a 14.6-inch BMW Passenger Screen and a BMW Theatre Screen with Dolby Atmos surround sound for rear occupants. Rear passengers get 5.5-inch touchscreens integrated into each door (BMW Touch Command) to control climate, seating, ambient lighting and entertainment independently. The signature rear Executive Lounge seat — with an extending footrest and massage and ventilation functions — anchors the range's chauffeur-driven positioning, while an Alcantara-covered wireless charging tray and BMW Individual CraftedClarity glass controls for the iDrive Controller and gear selector round out the cabin's material finish.

M light-alloy wheels are fitted as standard across the range, in designs specific to each model; further BMW Individual wheel designs and finishes are offered as cost options, with the largest-diameter designs typically reserved for the i7 M70 xDrive Ultimate Edition and M760e xDrive Ultimate Pack specification.

Charging & Electric Range

The i7 M70 xDrive and M760e xDrive both draw on BMW's fifth-generation eDrive electric architecture, though at very different scales — a full battery-electric powertrain against a plug-in hybrid's shorter-range electric assist.

Technology & Driver Assistance

Both M Models share BMW's latest generation of cabin technology and driver-assistance systems as standard equipment. BMW Panoramic Vision projects ambient and status information across the full width of the windscreen base, complemented by a BMW 3D Head-Up Display for the driver. The Central Display in Free-Cut Design forms the heart of the dashboard, paired with a 14.6-inch BMW Passenger Screen that lets the front passenger operate infotainment and entertainment independently of the driver, and a BMW Theatre Screen with Dolby Atmos sound for rear-seat cinema-style viewing on longer journeys.

BMW Digital Key Plus allows the car to recognise an approaching authorised phone or wearable and automatically open the doors, while the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant handles natural-language requests for climate, navigation and vehicle functions. Driver-assistance systems include Motorway Assistant for extended hands-supported motorway driving and Parking Assistant Professional, which adds remote parking manoeuvres controlled from outside the vehicle via a smartphone. For track and performance-minded owners, the M In-Car Apps suite — M Cockpit, M Drag Meter, M Laptimer and M Channel — logs and displays real-time performance data on the Central Display. BMW Individual CraftedClarity brings a glass-finish treatment to the iDrive Controller and gear selector, and an Alcantara-covered wireless charging tray finishes the front centre console.
