The BMW i7 50 xDrive alongside these alternatives:
Performance
The BMW i7 50 xDrive has a maximum power of 335 kW (456 hp / 449 bhp) and a total torque of 660 Nm (487 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 5.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 210 km/h (131 mph).
Battery, Range, and Charging
The battery has a gross capacity of 116.4 kWh and a net usable capacity of 112.4 kWh, with a 4.0 kWh buffer (3.4%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 376.4 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system.
The lithium-ion battery uses NMC (nickel manganese cobalt) chemistry.
Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the maximum rated range is 728 km (453 miles). Depending on the configuration and options such as wheel size, the rated range can be as low as 591 km (367 miles). Larger wheels generally increase energy consumption and reduce range.
WLTP energy consumption is 15.4 kWh/100 km for the base configuration and 19.0 kWh/100 km for the highest-consumption configuration.
For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.
The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 250 kW. A 0–100% charge takes approximately 91 minutes. A typical 10–80% session takes about 40 minutes at an average power of 119 kW.
With five minutes of overhead per stop, the optimal charging window is 2–44%. Effective average power, including overhead, is 144 kW over a session lasting about 20 minutes and 40 seconds.
Onboard Charger
The standard onboard charger supports AC charging at up to 22 kW. A full 0–100% charge takes about 5 hours and 6 minutes with a suitable home charging setup.
Charge Port
The location of the charge port is on the right rear side. This placement makes it easy to use charging stations that require backing up to connect.
Connector types vary by market: this model uses CCS Combo 1 in North America and CCS Combo 2 in Europe. For complete specifications for all markets, refer to the full specifications.
Drivetrain
The BMW i7 50 xDrive features an all-wheel drive system powered by two motors, one on each axle.
The motors used are Wound-Rotor Synchronous Motors.
Suspension
The BMW i7 50 xDrive features a double wishbone front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension, both with electronically controlled dampers and air springs.
The suspension is fully adaptive on the front and rear axle, so height and damping can be adjusted manually and automatically.
The minimum ground clearance is 126 mm, and the maximum is 156 mm.
Steering
Progressive steering is standard on the BMW i7 50 xDrive. It adjusts the steering ratio according to vehicle speed.

Drive Modes
The BMW i7 50 xDrive lets the user select different drive modes that affect the car's handling.
The driver can choose between 5 modes:

Brakes
The BMW i7 50 xDrive is equipped with cast-iron disc brakes on both the front and rear.
The front discs measure 348 mm, while the rear discs are 345 mm.
Regenerative Braking
The regenerative braking system in this model offers several modes. The most efficient option is the Automatic Regeneration Mode, where the vehicle coasts when possible and employs regenerative braking to reduce speed as needed.
Manual regeneration is another mode, where regenerative braking is controlled by pressing the brake pedal. The brake system blends in physical brakes only when necessary.
Another option is the Regen on Accelerator Pedal mode where regenerative braking is activated when the driver eases off the accelerator pedal. This system allows the vehicle to slow down and recover energy without the driver needing to press the brake pedal, a feature often referred to as one-pedal driving.
Drivers can also adjust the regenerative braking strength when lifting off the accelerator, choosing between three levels.
Exterior
