Introduced in April 2022, "7 Series" and "i7" serve as the respective designations to the automaker's full-size luxury flagship models in internal combustion and battery electric configurations. BMW had unveiled the model on 20 April 2022 during the nameplate's 45th anniversary. Sold onwards as a 2023 model, it is longer than its predecessor model. This model offers petrol and diesel models, come standard with a 48-volt mild hybrid powertrain; a plug-in hybrid system is available. The seventh-generation BMW 7 Series is often collectively referred to as the G70.

The G70 commenced production on 1 July 2022, exactly seven years after the previous model. The i7 is the first 7 Series to offer a fully electric powertrain, which shares powertrains with the smaller G60 i5. Both 7 Series and i7 offer optional rear- or all-wheel drive drivetrains. The V12 model is no longer offered, instead getting replaced by the M760e plug-in hybrid.
