Fitment questions

Does a BMW i7 have a starter motor?

No — the BMW i7 (G70, launched 2023) is a fully electric vehicle across every variant sold in the UK, including the i7 xDrive60, i7 M70, and all eDrive versions, meaning there is no combustion engine and therefore no starter motor was ever fitted to any i7 at any point in its production. What you may actually be looking for is a different component: if your i7 has a 12V auxiliary battery system issue you might need the DC-DC converter or the 12V battery itself, and if you have a high-voltage system fault the relevant component would be the inverter or drive motor assembly. Please check with a specialist EV breaker or BMW EV specialist who can identify the correct part from your registration number.

I've searched for a BMW i7 starter motor — why can't I find one listed anywhere?

Because the i7 is fully electric, no starter motor exists for this model — any listing you do find would be incorrectly categorised or from a different BMW model entirely. The part you need is likely electrical or high-voltage in nature, so it is worth describing your actual symptom (for example, car won't power on, 12V system fault, or warning light) to a breaker who specialises in EV dismantling so they can identify the correct component. Findapart breakers will be able to advise once you supply your registration and a description of the fault.

Could a starter motor from a BMW 7 Series (G11/G12) fit my i7?

No — the combustion-engine 7 Series (G11/G12, 2015–2022) did have starter motors matched to its petrol and diesel engine codes, but the i7 (G70) is fully electric and has no engine bay component that a starter motor would connect to, so this would be an entirely incompatible and unnecessary part. If you have arrived at this search because you own a G11 or G12 7 Series rather than an i7, then engine code is the key detail to supply to a breaker to ensure you get the correct starter motor for that combustion-engine car. For i7 owners, the fault you are experiencing will need diagnosing through a different component category entirely.

Does the BMW i7 M70 have a starter motor compared to the standard i7 xDrive60?

Neither variant has a starter motor — the i7 M70 and the i7 xDrive60 are both fully electric, with the M70 simply having a higher-output dual-motor setup rather than any combustion engine, so trim level and power output make no difference here. If you are comparing these two trims for parts purposes, the distinction that matters is the drivetrain hardware and high-voltage components specific to each, not anything related to starting a combustion engine. A breaker specialising in EV parts will be best placed to help you identify the correct electrical component from your registration.
