The 7-Series goes electric

As with every other 7-series, the i7 will come as standard with air suspension, electronically controlled damping, variable ratio steering and a massive suite of technology. The full sensor package includes over 30 elements, including high-resolution lidar and a new radar system with vertical separation capability that allows it properly make a distinction between static and moving objects. The main camera is an 8-megapixel unit for better clarity – a first for a car.

Though not as fancy as the 31-inch cinema screen rear-seat passengers will optionally be able to enjoy. We didn’t get to see this, but gather it’s mounted in the ceiling and streams movies over 5g. Legroom is unequivocally generous.Given the variations in mass and technology, BMW says creating the new 7-series has been like signing-off three different cars at once.

Aside from the ride, super-impressive aspects include the B mode, which may as well stand for Brilliant given how well sorted the one-pedal driving is, and – conversely – the actual brake pedal. As with the iX, the i7 has a neat system that maintains the consistency of brake feel no matter if it’s friction or regen slowing you down. All electric cars should be like this.While the weight works for the ride it works against the handling.

Equally, once the time is up it’s as if the whole car breathes a sign of relief, palpably dropping out of high tension and relaxing. Not something many will be encouraging their chauffeur to experiment with on a regular basis, but if you really must make it to the ballet on time it could be priceless.BMW is working on Level 3 autonomy for this car – which is extended self-driving in specific circumstances, such as traffic jams and on motorways.
