M70 xDrive (2023-2025)

Can you afford a 2023-2025 BMW i7 M70 xDrive in 2025?

# 2023-2025 BMW i7 M70 xDrive The BMW i7 M70 xDrive represents BMW's flagship electric sedan, blending M Performance division's sportiness with luxurious comfort. This all-electric 7 Series boasts 650 horsepower from dual motors, rocketing to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds—remarkable for a 6,000-pound luxury barge. Reviewers praise its serene cabin, advanced technology including a 31-inch theater screen, and surprisingly engaging driving dynamics. However, some criticize its polarizing split-headlight design and hefty curb weight. The i7 M70 is famous for merging electric efficiency with traditional BMW driving pleasure, though its $170,000+ price tag and limited range (around 280 miles) draw scrutiny. **Best suited for:** Affluent tech enthusiasts seeking a chauffeur-driven experience or spirited driving in equal measure, plus environmentally conscious luxury buyers who prioritize comfort over maximum range.

The BMW i7 M70 xDrive has exceptionally high insurance costs due to its $170,000+ price and expensive repair parts. Battery warranty covers 8 years/100,000 miles, reducing early ownership costs. Minimal routine maintenance versus gas BMWs (no oil changes), but software updates and tire replacements are pricey. Limited long-term reliability data available.
