Chronology
PredecessorBMW 7 Series (G11)

G70 is the internal designation for the seventh generation of the BMW 7 Series, a range of luxury cars produced by the German luxury vehicle manufacturer BMW since July 2022.[1]

Introduced in April 2022,[7] 7 Series and i7 are the respective designations for BMW's internal combustion and battery electric full-size luxury flagship models. BMW had unveiled the model on 20 April 2022 during the nameplate's 45th anniversary.[8] Sold as a 2023 model,[9] it is longer than its predecessor model. This model offers petrol and diesel models, come standard with a 48-volt mild hybrid powertrain; a plug-in hybrid system is available.[10] Additionally, this model is also the first 7 Series to offer a mild hybrid powertrain.[11] The seventh-generation BMW 7 Series is often collectively referred to as the G70.

The G70 commenced production on 1 July 2022, exactly seven years after the previous model.[12] The i7 is the first 7 Series to offer a fully electric powertrain, which shares powertrains with the smaller G60 i5. Both 7 Series and i7 offer optional rear- or all-wheel drive drivetrains.[13] The V12 model is no longer offered, instead gets replaced by the M760e plug-in hybrid.[14]
