In xDrive60 form, the i7 has two electric motors – one driving the front wheels and another the rears – that together pump out 536bhp. That’s enough for a 0-62mph time of 4.7 seconds, but you pay a sizeable premium over the entry-level eDrive50 model, which isn't exactly slow and gets the same 101.7kWh (usable capacity) battery.

Saloon

Munich-based BMW is most famous for its sports saloons, in particular the 3 Series and 5 Series. However, it actually builds almost every type of car imaginable: everything from two-seat convertibles to seven-seat MPVs.

The cheapest model in the BMW range is the 1 Series hatchback, which is a rival to the Audi A3, Mercedes-Benz A-Class and Volkswagen Golf. Meanwhile, at the other extreme is the M8&nbsp;grand tourer, which costs more than £120,000.

BMW was also quick to capitalise on the rise of the SUV and now has ten in its range: the X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, X6, X7 and XM, plus the electric iX3 and iX.

All of this makes it one of the big three German prestige brands, along with Audi and Mercedes-Benz.

M Sport Pro is only available on the mighty xDrive60. It gets 21in alloy wheels, the 'Sky Lounge' panoramic glass sunroof and 'Extended High-gloss Shadowline Exterior Trim' as standard.

BMW i7

The fully electric BMW i7 luxury limo has an astonishing range of tech, treats its passengers like royalty and is great to drive. If you do buy one, we think the eDrive50 version in entry-level Elegance trim is the smart choice.

<h2>What we're looking for:</h2><ul><li>Sufficient range between charges to fit in with most people’s lifestyles – and in the real world, not on some far-fetched official test </li> <li>Quick charging times and compatibility with the most ubiquitous types of public charging points </li> <li>Priced to be within the grasp of more than just the privileged few </li> <li>As with any car, ride comfort, practicality and ownership costs can’t be ignored</li></ul>

We define an electric car as one that runs purely on battery power and has no tailpipe to puff out nasty chemicals.

The best of the breed offer sufficient range between charges to fit in with most people’s lifestyles – and in the real world, not on some far-fetched official test cycle.
