Pricing for the 2024 BMW i7 spans widely depending on the configuration and options. The base eDrive50, which delivers the longest range and enough power for most buyers, starts at $105,700. Upgrading to the xDrive60 brings the price to $124,200, upping the performance and adding all-wheel-drive. The xDrive60 is a great middle ground because it only hurts the range by a handful of miles. As for the M70, it’s $168,000 starting MSRP leaves it only appealing to the shopper who likes to point at a car on the lot and buy it without checking the price tag.
Our xDrive60 was already optioned close to the range-topper, with an as-tested price of $156,959 (including a $995 destination charge). That price includes hefty options like the Rear Executive Lounge Seating ($7,250), Bowers & Wilkins Audio ($4,800), BMW Theater Screen ($4,750), and more. Buyers who prefer to check every box can even opt for a $12,000 two-tone paint job a la Maybach that shows they have more money than they know what to do with.
Small gripes about the grille and lack of physical control buttons aside, the BMW 7 Series currently sits at the top of the flagship sedan pyramid, and the i7 is our preferred variant. It’s packed with more crowd-pleasing features than a Mercedes S-Class or EQS Sedan, and it matches the Audi S8 on comfortable, fun-to-drive performance. The only car we’d consider over it is the Lucid Air, but that’s more a competitor to the i5. If we had to park a full-size executive luxury sedan in our driveway, it would be a BMW i7.
