ANALYSISHow safe is the 2026 BMW I7?
The 2026 BMW i7 has no federal crash-test ratings on file, nor does NHTSA provide any star-rating baseline from sibling years. Shoppers will find zero recalls have been issued. A single unverified complaint has been logged regarding the Electrical System, Seats, and Visibility/Wiper components. While this does not establish a pattern, consumers should monitor the NHTSA complaint database as this model year ages and more units are driven. The low complaint volume contributes to a low computed Safety Index, but this is a function of limited data, not an indicator of crash performance.
