BMW’s revamped flagship i7 electric sedan blends classic flagship styling with modern Neue Klasse design, featuring a smaller kidney grille, minimalist crystal headlights, and a digital cabin that includes a 17.9‑inch floating infotainment display, a 14.6‑inch passenger screen, and a 31.3‑inch 8K entertainment screen for rear passengers.
Power and range
Power and range: the i7 is powered by a 113‑kWh Gen6 eDrive battery, delivering up to 447 miles (720 km) of WLTP range and an EPA‑rated 362 miles in the U.S., making it suitable for long‑haul chauffeur duties.
Chauffeur program details: in the UK, BMW offers a dedicated Chauffeur Program for the i7 that includes a five‑year Service Inclusive plan with unlimited mileage, a one‑year BMW Security PRO subscription for 24/7 protection, Mobility Support for replacement or repair assistance, and an eight‑year or 100,000‑mile high‑voltage battery warranty.
Perks and eligibility: customers who place a qualified i7 Chauffeur Program order by the end of 2026 receive a free Pod home charger; the program targets licensed private‑hire operators, chauffeur companies, executive transport providers, hotel fleets, corporate and VIP operators, and self‑employed chauffeurs, but excludes taxi operators.
In the U.S., BMW sells the 2027 i7 50 xDrive starting at $106,200 and the i7 60 xDrive at $124,700, yet it does not yet provide a chauffeur‑focused program in that market.
