BMW 740d And i7 M70 xDrive Launched In India At Rs. 1.81 Crore And 2.5 Crore Respectively

BMW’s flagship 7 series has now been launched with new electric and diesel powertrain options. The all-electric i7 now gets a range topping M70 xDrive variant, priced at Rs 2.5 crore. Meanwhile the ICE-equipped 7 Series gets a 3-litre diesel engine, with prices starting from Rs. 1.81 crore. Let's dive into the details without wasting any time. 

BMW i7 M70 

The BMW i7 M70 xDrive is the most powerful all-electric M division car from the Bavarian carmaker. It features dual electric motors mounted on each axle, good for  660PS and a whooping 1100Nm. BMW claims a 0-100 km/h sprint time of 3.7 seconds along with a top speed of 250kmph (electronically limited).

Fuelling these electric motors is a 101.7kWh battery that is sufficient for 560km. Apart from that, the i7 M70 also gets exclusive design and features, details of which you can find in our in-depth unveiling story. 

BMW 7 Series Diesel

Until now, the ICE-powered 7 Series always came with a petrol engine which, let’s be honest, wasn’t the most frugal. However, for those who want a more fuel-efficient alternative, BMW has introduced the diesel model, which comes with a 3-litre 6-cylinder engine good for 286PS and 650Nm. This is sufficient to propel the sedan to a ton from standstill in 6 seconds, all the way up to 250kmph.

The rest of the 7 Series is similar to the petrol model, whose details you can find in the India-spec model’s launch story.
