Once you look past some of the more gimmicky elements of the BMW i7’s technology offering, you realise it’s probably the best luxury car this side of a Rolls-Royce. The smooth, quiet and powerful electric powertrain is a great match for the car’s exceptional ride comfort on UK roads, wonderful refinement and spacious rear cabin. The price soon balloons with options, but the i7 more than justifies its high cost.

There’s a sort of Stockholm Syndrome effect that goes with BMW’s onslaught of controversial grille designs. Originally they seemed shocking, and yet, just through being around them a bit, you start to get used to and - dare we say it - even appreciate the brazenness, like a hostage starting to side with their captor.

This might take a little longer with the all-new 7 Series. It’s perhaps the most divisive interpretation of the big-nostril thing seen thus far, placing two vast kidneys on an imposing, block-like body which is for the most part much more restrained. The rear, weirdly, has a certain Peugeot 605 vibe to it.

Perhaps you like it. Maybe you loathe it. But either way, it doesn’t matter, as in all-electric i7 form, the new 7er is magnificent. There was a time when BMW’s flagship saloon was a little too focused on being sporty for its own good, but the new car rides incredibly smoothly even in the M Sport trim tested here, complete with larger wheels to go with various sporty-focused styling tweaks inside and out.
The softness of the damping is only part of the story; the air suspension set-up also deals with serious imperfections in the tarmac with minimal fuss, allowing the body to settle very quickly. Excellent soundproofing, meanwhile, keeps occupants well insulated from road and wind noise, neither of which has the din of an internal combustion engine to hide behind here.
