The 2025 BMW i7 eDrive50 is the rear-wheel-drive, single-motor entry point to BMW's all-electric full-size flagship, built on the CLAR architecture (G70) it shares with the combustion 7 Series. Introduced in May 2023 for the 2024 model year, it uses one excited-synchronous BMW eDrive motor on the rear axle for 335 kW (449 hp) and 650 N⋅m (479 lb-ft), drawing on a 105.7-kWh gross (101.7-kWh usable) lithium-ion pack. BMW quotes 0-100 km/h in 5.5 seconds and a 127-mph top speed, while the EPA rates the US car at 314 miles of range and 88 MPGe combined on 19-inch wheels. It sits beneath the dual-motor xDrive60 and the 650-hp i7 M70 xDrive in the lineup, trading their all-wheel-drive thrust for the longest range and the lowest weight of the electric 7 Series.
