335kw-edrive50-excellence-1057kwh-4dr-auto

Unless you live in a part of the country where four-wheel drive is a must, this version of the i7 is the one we'd recommend. Its 449bhp output is enough for effortless acceleration (0-62mph takes 5.5 seconds), plus it has an official range of up to 379 miles.

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.

Entry-level Excellence trim comes with 19in alloy wheels, leather upholstery, ambient interior lighting, a panoramic glass sunroof, heated front and rear seats, wireless phone-charging and a head-up display. But while this is enough to make it our pick of the range, we’d recommend adding the Executive Pack and the Technology Plus Pack.

Excellence

M Sport models add black exterior highlights and 20in wheels for a sportier appearance. Whether or not it's worth spending the extra needed to get these things is a matter of personal taste.

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.

Stepping up from Excellence to Excellence Pro trim gets you some more toys. However, you’ll still need to stump up extra for the lounge rear seats and the Bowers & Wilkins surround sound system.

This version of the i7 has a more powerful rear-mounted electric motor than lesser variants, which helps give it a total output of 650bhp and a 3.7sec 0-62mph time. However, the official range falls to 343 miles.

485kW

The range-topping M70 model has slightly sportier suspension than other i7s, but this doesn't make the ride overly firm and it reduces floatiness over undulating roads. You also get blue brake calipers, M logos and a bespoke 21in alloy wheel design.
