It's a measure of the increasing preeminence of EVs that the first version of BMW's all-new 7 Series flagship to hit showrooms is the all-electric i7. Plug-in hybrids will follow in due course, but in terms of setting the tone for the future and setting out your luxury car stand, then batteries take the lead.
One things for certain with this 7 Series - onlookers aren't going to miss your arrival. This isn't and elegant or even a particularly aesthetically appealing car, but there's no doubt the monumentally proportioned i7 attracts attention. Bluff-fronted and slab-sided it visually dominates any slab of tarmac its sits on, but if you're a plutocrat wanting to flaunt your success the car's imposing presence will only be a positive.
Like previous 7 Series models, the i7 is pretty good to drive. At nearly 2800kg it's no lightweight, while there are smaller cross channel ferries; but thanks to four-wheel steering and all-wheel drive the big BMW feels surprisingly biddable, with accurate steering, precise handling and strong grip.
