You’d think that the quickest Bimmers in the stable are all M cars, but that’s not completely true. BMW just announced its i7 M70 xDrive electric luxury flagship sedan, and it’s a luxurious land rocket. It makes 650 horses that drive both axles, and there’s 748 lb-ft of twist when you dial it into Sport mode. Use the car’s launch control feature or the M Sport Boost function, and that number climbs to 811 lb-ft of torque. 0-60 mph arrives in a mere 3.5 seconds. The car weighs 7,165 pounds, so that’s three and-a-quarter tons to move very, very quickly. Underneath, there’s a 105.7-kWh battery that provides an EPA-estimated range of 295 miles. It also has a sport-tuned chassis, standard adaptive and self-leveling suspension, active roll stabilization, and rear-wheel steering. More details about this beast will surface before the 2023 launch later this year.

Vaer’s G5 Meridian Watch Looks and Feels Better Than the Five-Times More Expensive Option It Reminds You Of
Vaer has been one of our favorite watchmakers for as long as we can remember because they produce new, classic watches based on iconic designs. Case in point, the Vaer G5 Meridian watch you see here. This timepiece is a 1950s-inspired 20ATM automatic watch that’s USA-assembled, dual timezone, built with ocean-ready functionality, self-winding and the brand’s first true GMT (the latest version of their core dive watch design). What’s more, it pays homage to other watches that are incredibly more expensive or hard to come by whilst also adding new aspects that makes this Vaer G5 Meridian watch more desirable than the other options in our opinion.
