BMW updates the 7 Series for 2027 with Neue Klasse styling and tech across the lineup: the all‑electric i7 gains cylindrical battery cells that raise usable capacity to 112.5 kWh, pushing EPA range above 350 miles and charging up to 250 kW; the 740/740 xDrive continue with a 3.0‑liter turbo inline‑six (~394 hp) and a 750e xDrive plug‑in hybrid with 483 hp and about 34 miles of electric range; interior tech is upgraded with a Panoramic Drive display, large touchscreens, a rear-seat Theater Screen, and OTA updates, plus more sensors in the grille for Level 2 assist. Availability includes i7 and 740/740 xDrive before year’s end, with the 750e xDrive arriving in 2027; pricing rises modestly for the 740 models and more for the i7 (starting around $101k for the 740 and $106k for the i7 50 xDrive).

The article argues the new BMW i3 is more pivotal than the iX3 because it reinvents the 3 Series as BMW's core electric sedan under the Neue Klasse, featuring an 800-volt architecture, rapid 400 kW charging, and a large battery that could deliver long ranges (up to ~560 miles WLTP / ~440 miles EPA) with multiple motor variants, including a high-performance i3 M. While the iX3 remains important, the i3 is positioned as the defining BMW EV for the brand's future.
BMW indicates the i4 will be phased out with the i3 effectively replacing it for now.

U.S. models will feature a built-in NACS port and bidirectional charging, with production in Munich starting in August and deliveries expected in early 2027, at an estimated $60,000–$65,000. The i3 emphasizes efficient packaging and an updated interior, and BMW is hinting at variants like a wagon and a future M version as competition in an SUV-dominated EV market heats up.
