The new i7 M70 xDrive features BMW's most powerful electric motor.
The company increased the power density of the rear-axle motor by 25.5 percent over the unit in the i7 xDrive60.
The electric sedan can sprint from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds, making it the brand's quickest fully electric model.
The i7 M70 xDrive's battery pack provides 101.7 kilowatt hours of usable energy out of its 105.7-kilowatt-hour capacity.
This gives the EV an estimated range of up to 295 miles based on the US EPA's test procedure standards.
It features 11-kW AC charging and up to 195 kW of DC, which can recharge the battery from 10 to 80 percent in 34 minutes.
BMW iDrive OS 8.5 features an improved menu structure and QuickSelect functionality.
The company will offer two-tone finishes and, at launch, will have a BMW Individual Liquid Copper and Sapphire Black combination.
The automaker will also offer optional high-performance tires on the i7 for the first time, which will wrap around 20-inch rims.
