Cars most likely to have major powertrain problemswith more power, more equipment and a more aggressive suspension. Well, not too aggressive; this is a 7 Series, after all. BMW’s land yacht is intended to cradle and coddle, M badges be damned.

All told, the i7 M70 makes 650 hp and 749 lb-ft of torque – or 811 lb-ft for brief moments when you’re using launch control or if you grab the steering wheel’s boost paddle. That’s an increase of 114 hp and 200 lb-ft over the i7 xDrive60, which is enough to shave a second off the sedan’s 0-to-60-mph time: 3.5 seconds vs. 4.5 and increase its top speed from 149 mph to 155 mph.

The M70 arrives with a new bit of cabin tech that’ll make its way to other BMW models through an over-the-air update: iDrive 8.5. Also launching in the 2024 5 Series and, iDrive 8.5 uses the same basic software as iDrive 8.0, but a few little UX tweaks make the system more intuitive to use – especially for the first time.
