Description
The BMW i7 M50 is the first BMW to preview the new-gen interior with bits taken from the Neue Klasse generation. It is locally-produced at the Chennai plant, and is priced at ₹1.95 crore (ex-showroom).
The BMW i7 M50 runs a 112.5kWh battery making 455bhp and 660Nm. 0- 100 kmph in 4.7 seconds claimed, 5.6 seconds is what we managed to achieve in real-world. Real-world range with AC on Indian roads is approximately 420km. The air suspension and dampers are tuned very well suited to Indian roads and can drive over potholes without a single complaint — thick sidewall tyres help, but the calibration is genuinely impressive for a car this large and this heavy.
Inside the BMW i7 M50, gets a massive leap over the older i7. The traditional instrument cluster is gone — replaced by BMW's Panoramic Vision that runs along the base of the windscreen, showing speed, throttle position, motor RPM and steering angle in your eyeline. There’s a new steering wheel with vertical spokes instead of traditional horizontal ones, which might look odd at first, but works once you get used to it. The central screen has a new UI which makes using it much simpler. The rear seat gets a 31.3-inch 8K theatre screen that drops from the roof, paired with a 1,965W 35-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system.
We have driven the car, experienced the backseat, used all of its features, driven it over bad roads, highways, and Indian-sized speed breakers. Watch the full video to get all your answers about what the i7 really is, and if it is the car you aspire to buy.
