The i7 will be rolling out in Europe as early as the end of 2022, while diesel and petrol engines will not be available until spring 2023. Externally and in the interior, the first electric version i7 xDrive60 hardly differs from the combustion engines. A huge illuminated kidney is emblazoned at the front, and a cinema screen awaits in the rear. The SUV trend does not stop at luxury sedans. But the electric drive, without which no new car is conceivable in Europe because of the CO2 limits, brings new arguments for the conventional sedan shape due to the smaller frontal area. While Mercedes placed combustion engines and e-cars on different architectures in the luxury segment, BMW uses its Cluster Architecture (CLAR) for both. When modifying CLAR, BMW put a lot of brain power into upgrading the platforms for all drive types.The Munich-based company always gives the electric 7 series the "i" before the "7", but visually you can hardly tell it apart from the combustion engines. With a steeply rising, representative front and a kidney grille, the dimensions of which are hardly inferior to the classic radiator handle of the Rolls-Royce, which is technically related (and will be in the future), are courting customers, especially in the Far East. The new design is rather unfavorable for an electric car because it is aerodynamically disadvantageous.Inside, the i7 lives up to its modern drive system: there is certainly no shortage of touchscreens, networking and LED lighting. The lavishly dimensioned curved display in front of the steering wheel (instruments) and above the center console (infotainment menu) is still familiar from the electric SUV iX, as is the polished crystal glass look for the iDrive controller, direction selector switch and seat adjustment.What is new, however, is the so-called Interaction Bar, which extends across the entire width at about the height of the middle of the steering wheel and extends into the door panels. It is backlit and features a pair of seamlessly integrated touch controls for controlling the air conditioning and opening the glove compartment, and largely conceals the ventilation outlets. How and in which colors it lights up is influenced by the passengers via so-called My Modes, i.e. individual settings in the corresponding menu. The right play of light even extends to the panorama glass roof thanks to color-changeable LED filaments.In Europe, i7 xDrive60 starts in November, while the 7 Series with the two plug-in hybrid petrol engines (750e and M760e xDrive) and the mild hybrid diesel (740d xDrive) will not be available until spring 2023. BMW has communicated a price of 135,900 euros for the i7 xDrive60.
