There are a range of other assistance features on this model, including predictive breaking. Hopefully, many will be buying this car because it's great to drive too. There's never been a more relaxing way to travel on the motorway - but it's not all about hands-off driving.
To activate the system you just have to press the buttons on the steering wheel controls to engage Assist Plus and you'll get green illumination to show you it's working. This is tempered slightly by a design that's perhaps a little more traditional on the exterior, while the interior tech experience takes some time to be mastered, offering so much, it's not always intuitive to find. With the power on offer and plenty of range, it loves being driven with purpose through those bends. Certainly, this is one of the best rear-passenger experiences you'll find in an electric car, letting you recline, relax and indulge yourself in your own private cinema.īut the BMW i7 is also a great car to drive. That means you get your luxury, with the electric experience. The BMW i7 sets out to be the best of the best from BMW, giving you everything you expect from a 7 Series, but without compromise when it comes to the powertrain. We slipped behind the wheel in Palm Springs, California, to put the £108,305 car through its paces. Interestingly, however, it's available both in combustion and fully-electric powertrains, with BMW saying that there's no compromise: whatever model you buy, it's still 100 per cent BMW 7 Series - it's still "the best".
