The BMW i7 is a newcomer in the full-size electric sedan space, a segment currently dominated by brands like Mercedes-Benz, Lucid, and Tesla. But, Bavaria’s first big BEV brings technology, power, and poise to the party, even if it is a late arrival.
BMW invited me to Munich to test the new i7 prototype (and the V8-powered 7 Series) at its testing facility just outside of the city. There, I got the chance to sample the electric i7 and its laundry list of new technology, which includes Level 2 hands-free driving, advanced remote parking, and the latest version of BMW's infotainment interface. Although I didn't get a ton of time in the new i7, this short test was proof that BMW is betting on beating the competition.
