What changed for 2027
Car and Driver (opens in a new tab) says BMW claims the 2027 overhaul given to the i7 is the most significant mid-cycle refresh the company has ever undertaken: the central kidney grilles have expanded downward and slimmed, now outlined with LED light strips as standard, and the previous stacked, two-tiered headlight design has been replaced with single-strip daytime running lights below the hood's leading edge.
MotorTrend (opens in a new tab) adds a new 112.5-kWh battery with higher energy density for longer range and faster charging, standard NACS charging, retuned throttle response and new driving sounds, and updated automatic doors with a new soft-close mechanism.
Pricing and performance for 2027
Car and Driver (opens in a new tab) says pricing starts at $107,750 for the i750 xDrive, which BMW claims will rush to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds, while the AWD i760 starts at $126,250 and hits 60 in 4.6 seconds — only $500 more than the corresponding 2026 models, with the i750 representing particularly good value now that all-wheel drive is standard.
How it compares to its closest rivals
MotorTrend (opens in a new tab) names other luxury electric flagship rivals as the Mercedes-Benz EQS-Class, the Lucid Air, and the Audi e-tron GT.
