Customer deliveries of the BMW i7, which made its Malaysian debut last month, have begun, with Auto Bavaria being the first BMW dealership to get the all-electric version of the seventh-generation G70 7 Series out to its buyers.
According to the dealership, it is set to deliver 60 units to its customers this week. These units are part of the first batch of i7 units being brought in by BMW Malaysia, and word is that demand for the automaker’s flagship EV has been strong, with the entire initial allocation already being spoken for.
At present, Malaysian buyers only have one i7 variant to pick from, and that’s the xDrive60 M Sport. With a standard two-year warranty, it’s priced at RM707,250, on-the-road (OTR) without insurance, and an optional extended warranty (five years) and service (six years) package brings this to RM729,800.
The i7 is powered by a pair of electric motors – one on each axle – that deliver a total system output of 544 PS (536 hp or 400 kW) and 745 Nm of torque, which is good enough to haul the car from standstill to 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds, on to an electronically-limited 240 km/h top speed.
A 105.7 kWh (101.7 kWh net) lithium-ion battery provides the i7 with up to 625 km of WLTP-rated range, and the battery can be fully juiced up via AC charging at a rate of up to 11 kW in about 9.5 hours. With DC fast charging at a rate of up to 195 kW, the unit can be brought from a 10% to 80% state of charge in just 34 minutes.

waiting for byd fanboy to come say dolphin is better.
there’s already one fanboy below (although not specifically dolphin)
lol…the grill is hideous for sure. but i don’t see how any part of this looks like BYD
what’s wrong with their obsession with massive grille even on an EV lol.
Needs ample space to fit radiator coolants for overheating batteries and electric motors
Nah that is not true, EV require less cooling to the point that close off grille providing more aerodynamic for more range is better.
Even as an owner of multiple BMWs, I have to say this i7 is next level ugly
BYD is way better, look like BMW copy them many places but grill is original
There is always something better, why dont you keep them for yourself? Dm
I reckon M trim with big wheels is the way to go for this car design. The plain vanilla 7 in metallic oxide grey passed me by yesterday and boy it looks bad with the wheels sunken in the wheel arches. Can’t wait to see how the two tone will look like otr. Two tone is a must for this car because of the split headlamp design.
why interior so ugly & look old. whats happening to 7 series look so cheap. Only things nice is the flat screen display.
The screen is a novelty but there aren’t movies built with that aspect ratio, so you either have black spaces at the sides or you stretch/zoom the image. It’s definitely a cool party trick, though.
i5 when?
