How does BMW's most powerful saloon ever work in the real world?
won’t change that opinion, because output has never really been the issue. But it’s also the most powerful saloon BMW currently sells until the plug-in M5 arrives - so regardless of power source, that means the M70 is of interest to PH. Even if it still looks how it looks.
It definitely does speed, mind. On paper, there’s nothing particularly startling about the stats in 2024 - especially when encountered in the same week as thereveal - though the acceleration of the M70 remains brisk enough to momentarily take your breath away. And raise a smile, it must be said, be that through the light show across the dash, the spaceship-style whirr of the Hans Zimmer soundtrack or the hoof in the back from 10 seconds of the boost paddle.
The weight is carried low and adequately contained by a vast wheelbase, meaning laudable stability and composure, though the clever integration of tech like all-wheel steer means the M70 always feels keener than it probably looks. It feels like a BMW exec, basically, with confidence in both axles and good refinement.
