Second Hand BMW i7 Flywheel

No — the BMW i7 is a fully electric vehicle across all variants, including the i7 xDrive60, i7 M70, and eDrive50, and has no internal combustion engine whatsoever, so it never had a flywheel fitted at any point in its production. A flywheel is a component of combustion or hybrid drivetrains that stores rotational energy between the engine and gearbox; because the i7 uses only electric motors, there is no such component in the drivetrain. If you are searching for a flywheel, it is likely you have the wrong vehicle listed, and you should double-check your V5 or run a VIN check to confirm the exact model you own.

It is very unlikely a breaker would legitimately list a flywheel for a BMW i7, as the car is fully electric and the part simply does not exist on it. It is possible there has been a cataloguing error, a misidentification of the vehicle, or a confusion with a different BMW model such as the petrol or diesel 7 Series (G70 platform), which does have combustion engines and flywheels. We would recommend contacting the breaker directly and confirming the part and vehicle registration before proceeding.

No — the BMW i7 is electrically driven and has no flywheel, so there is no application for this part regardless of where it comes from. The 7 Series and i7 share the G70 platform but have fundamentally different drivetrains; the 7 Series variants with combustion engines do use flywheels, but those parts have no home on an i7. If you need drivetrain components for your i7, you should be looking at electric motor, inverter, or transmission-related parts specific to the electric drivetrain.

Depending on what problem you are trying to solve, common drivetrain-related parts on the i7 include the electric motor assembly, the single-speed reduction gearbox, the power electronics unit, or drive shafts. If you are experiencing vibration or a shudder that might have led someone to suggest a flywheel in a combustion context, the issue on an i7 is more likely related to the electric motor mounts, CV joints, or suspension components. It is worth describing your symptoms to a specialist BMW electric vehicle technician so the correct part can be identified before you approach a breaker.

No — the i7 M70 is still a fully electric vehicle, using a high-output twin-motor setup rather than any combustion engine, so it does not have a flywheel any more than the standard i7 xDrive60 or eDrive50. Performance or M-badged variants of electric vehicles increase power through motor and inverter upgrades, not through combustion drivetrain components. If you are sourcing parts for an i7 M70, a breaker specialising in BMW EVs will be best placed to identify the correct electric drivetrain components for your registration.
