BMW i7 M70 xDrive

Only 10 of the 600 cars in Dream Car Garage use an electric engine layout, and only 10 pair that layout with AWD. That places the BMW i7 M70 xDrive in a very distinct corner of the catalogue, where its identity is shaped less by tradition and more by the combination of electric power, all-wheel drive, and luxury saloon design. For a collector building from 600 choices, that separation matters because it represents a small group with a very specific approach to performance.

The numbers explain why this car holds attention within that group. With 671 bhp, the i7 M70 xDrive ranks 112th for power across the full catalogue, placing it in the top 19%. Its 1,100 Nm of torque and 0 to 100 km/h time of 3.8 seconds show the character of a luxury sedan that sits well beyond the expectations normally attached to a four or five seater saloon. The 250 km/h top speed ranks 414th, showing that its catalogue position is not built around chasing the highest maximum speed, but around the balance of electric power and acceleration.

The BMW i7 M70 xDrive is a 2023 luxury sedan from Germany, and BMW’s presence in the catalogue is substantial, with 48 cars represented. Yet this model occupies a narrower space than the wider BMW collection, because its electric engine layout places it among only 10 cars in the catalogue. The AWD pairing reinforces that distinction, creating a specification combination shared by only 10 cars here.

At a used price of £105,000, it sits 287th for price, making it more expensive than 313 cars in the catalogue. Its cost per bhp is £156, giving another way to view the relationship between its performance and its position. The i7 M70 xDrive is not simply a high-powered entry, it is a rare catalogue combination of electric engineering, AWD capability, and luxury sedan proportions.

The BMW i7 M70 xDrive occupies a distinctive point in the 600-car landscape. It does not sit at the top for every measured extreme, with power ranking 112th, acceleration ranking 267th, and top speed ranking 414th, but its electric AWD pairing places it in a much smaller field. In a dream garage, this is the car that shifts the balance towards a future-facing luxury category that only a small part of the collection can represent.
