The 2023 BMW 7 Series has been spotted multiple times in India this year. The revamped sedan is anticipated to receive a completely new look thanks to split headlamps, a bigger kidney grille, new front and rear bumpers, new alloy wheels, and other design elements. The new BMW 7 Series for India is going to be available with three powertrain options. The model will be offered with a 3.0-litre in-line six-cylinder diesel with 295bhp, a 3.0-litre straight-six petrol with 375bhp, and a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 with 535bhp.

In India, the BMW 7 Series is expected to come in two petrol variants - the 740Li M Sport Edition and the 740Li BMW Individual M Sport Edition, as well as three diesel variants: the 730Ld DPE Signature, the 730Ld M Sport Edition, and the 730Ld BMW Individual M Sport Edition.

The BMW i7, on the other hand, is an all-electric variant of the 7 Series. It will be offered in the xDrive60 configuration, which includes a 101.7kWh battery pack. It has dual electric motors (one on each axle) that produce 536bhp of peak power and 745Nm of peak torque. The all-electric BMW i7 is going to have a range of 590-625 kilometres (WLTP Cycle) on a single charge and will be available with fast and standard charging.

The interior of the BMW 7 Series and i7 will include a 14.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 12.3-inch fully digital instrument panel, 5.5-inch touchscreen displays positioned on the rear door handles, as well as a newly styled flat-bottom steering wheel. The main attraction, though, will be the 31-inch 8k theatre display mounted on the roof. BMW offers two electric vehicles in India as of now: the i4 sedan and the iX SUV. There are currently two trim levels for the BMW i4: the i4 eDrive40 Sport and the i4 eDrive40 M Sport.
