Performance

The BMW i7 M70 xDrive has a maximum power of 485KW (659hp). The total torque is 1015nm. The 0-100km/h sprint (0-62mph) takes 3,7 seconds. The top speed is 250 km/h.

Battery, range, and charging

The battery has a gross capacity of 105,7kWh and a net capacity of 101,7kWh, meaning you have a 4,0kWh buffer for protection. (3,8%). The WLTP range varies from 560 to 488 km (348-303 mi), depending on car options. Bigger wheels are an example of an equipment option that increases consumption and reduces the electric range. The consumption is between 18,2kWh/100km for the basic version and 20,8kWh/100km for the top trim version for the WLTP standard test. For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listing on this model’s range and consumption page.

The maximum DC charging speed is 195kW. A full charge from 0 - 100% would take 56 minutes, while a more common scenario of 10-80% would take 30 minutes. If you assume you lose 5 minutes driving per charge stop in addition to the charge time, the optimum charge area is from 2% to 53% resulting in an actual charge speed including time loss on 135kW. Each charge session would take 23 minutes and 4 seconds.

For the theoretical 1000km challenge, starting with a full battery and driving at 120km/h (75 mph), assuming optimal driving conditions and consumption of 26kWh/100km, 1000km will take 9 hours and 30 minutes to drive. This trip will require three charge session(s) charging from 2% to 54%. The total time lost for charging will be 71 minutes.
