Performance
The BMW i7 xDrive60 packs an impressive punch with a maximum power of 400 kW (544 hp / 536 bhp) and a commanding total torque of 745 Nm (550 lb-ft). This high-performance machine can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in just 4.7 seconds, and it reaches a top speed of 240 km/h (149 mph), making it a standout in its class.
Battery, Range, and Charging
The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 105.7 kWh and a net usable capacity of 101.7 kWh, providing a 4.0 kWh buffer (3.8%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 376.4 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system, aligning with industry standards.
This Lithium-Ion battery utilizes NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) technology.
Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range varies between 625 to 591 km (388-367 miles), depending on the specific configuration and options, such as wheel size. Larger wheels can increase energy consumption and subsequently reduce the overall range.
The vehicle's energy consumption is rated at 16.3 kWh/100 km for the base model and 17.2 kWh/100 km for the top-tier model under the WLTP test cycle.
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 195 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 57 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 31 minutes with an average charging speed of 138 kW.
Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 2% to 53%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 133 kW, with each charging session taking about 23 minutes and 28 seconds.
In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 25 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 9 hours and 27 minutes, needing three charging stops from 3% to 52%, totaling 68 minutes of charging time.
Onboard Charger
The standard onboard charger supports up to 22 kW for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging, allowing a full 0–100% charge in about 4 hours and 37 minutes with a standard home 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.
