BMW has launched the updated 7 Series in India, priced from Rs. 1.95 crores (ex-showroom). The India-spec luxury sedan is available in a single 740 M Sport variant, alongside the facelifted i7 electric limousine. The i7 comes in two trims with prices ranging from Rs. 1.95 crores to Rs. 2.65 crores.
The facelift brings a revised fascia to the flagship sedan. At the front, the 7 Series features an illuminated kidney grille and a split-headlamp arrangement. The rear design includes slimmer LED tail-lights and redesigned bumpers.
The cabin emphasizes rear-seat comfort and technology. The layout features a redesigned steering wheel and a panoramic display. A 17.9-inch central infotainment screen and a 14.6-inch display for the front passenger are standard. Rear passengers enjoy BMW’s 31.3-inch Theatre Screen, which now supports 8K streaming.
Other equipment includes a Bowers & Wilkins audio system with Dolby Atmos, a panoramic glass roof, and four-zone automatic climate control. The seats offer power adjustment, heating, ventilation, and massage functions. The car also features Level 2 driver assistance systems, rear-wheel steering, and adaptive suspension.

Indian buyers can choose between a mild-hybrid petrol powertrain and two electric versions. The 740 M Sport relies on electrification assistance for performance, while the i7 variants offer a balance between range and acceleration. The M70 xDrive stands out with its 680 BHP output.
The 740 M Sport uses a 3.0-litre, six-cylinder turbo-petrol engine paired with a 48V mild-hybrid system. It develops 395 BHP and 540 Nm, sending power through an 8-speed automatic gearbox. BMW claims a 0-100 km/hr acceleration time of 5.4 seconds, with a top speed limited to 250 km/hr.
The i7 50 xDrive M Sport uses a 112.4 kWh battery pack and a dual-motor electric drivetrain. It produces 455 BHP and 660 Nm, enabling a claimed 0-100 km/hr time of 5.5 seconds and a top speed of 210 km/hr. Its claimed WLTP range stands at 728 km.
At the top of the electric range is the i7 M70 xDrive, which also uses a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup. It develops 680 BHP and up to 1100 Nm with its boost function. BMW claims it can accelerate from 0-100 km/hr in 3.8 seconds and reach 250 km/hr. The same 112.4 kWh battery provides a claimed WLTP range of 686 km.
