Ranveer Singh Adds a Rs 1.95 Crore BMW i7 to His Garage
Ranveer Singh takes delivery of a BMW i7 50 xDrive, the Rs 1.95 crore electric flagship, shortly after becoming BMW India's brand ambassador.
Ranveer Singh has parked a new electric flagship in his garage. The actor has taken delivery of a BMW i7 50 xDrive, the all-electric version of BMW’s 7 Series sedan. The price tag is Rs 1.95 crore, ex-showroom, placing the car firmly in the deep end of India’s luxury EV market.
A brand ambassadorship becomes personal
This is not a spontaneous buy. Ranveer was recently unveiled as BMW India’s brand ambassador, and in September he introduced the company’s latest 7 Series range at a launch event in New Delhi. Taking delivery of the i7 shortly after turns the professional partnership into something more personal: the face of the launch is now an owner of one of its flagship electric models.
The numbers behind the badge
The i7 50 xDrive M Sport sits on a 112.5 kWh battery pack and uses an electric powertrain that produces 455 hp and 600 Nm of torque. BMW claims a 0-100 kmph time of 5.5 seconds and a WLTP range of up to 728 km on a full charge. For an electric luxury sedan, that range figure is the one that matters most.
- 455 hp and 600 Nm of torque, with a claimed 0-100 kmph time of 5.5 seconds
- 112.5 kWh battery and up to 728 km of WLTP range
- Executive lounge seating and a rear-seat entertainment screen
- Bowers & Wilkins sound system and an upgraded infotainment setup
A cabin built for the passenger
Luxury sedans in this segment are defined as much by the back seat as the driver’s seat. The i7 leans into that with executive lounge seating, a large rear-seat entertainment screen and a Bowers & Wilkins sound system, along with an upgraded infotainment setup. For a star whose public appearances often involve being driven, those rear-cabin details are likely a meaningful part of the appeal.
Built in India, beyond the showroom
There is a manufacturing detail that gives this purchase wider significance. The i7 is locally produced at BMW Group’s Chennai facility, making India the only country outside Germany to build BMW’s electric flagship. So this is not just a celebrity delivery story; it is also a quiet reflection of how serious BMW’s Indian production operation has become.
Why Bollywood’s car culture is watching
Bollywood has always treated luxury cars as an extension of star persona, and Ranveer’s collection has long leaned into that. The i7 lets him move toward electric without giving up the size, the screens or the back-seat experience that define a flagship sedan. It is still a flex, just a quieter one.
For fans and automotive marketers alike, the takeaway is simple: the car he launched is the car he has chosen to live with. That alignment, rare in celebrity endorsements, is what makes the delivery feel less like an advertisement and more like a genuine lifestyle signal.
