When it comes to electrified saloons from the German firm, the i7 sits ahead of the more affordable i4 in the BMW line-up.
There are two trim levels to choose from with an i7 lease - ‘Excellence’ and ‘M Sport’ - both of which come positively loaded with creature comforts.
The base ‘Excellence’ models enjoy a panoramic glass sunroof, a Bowers Wilkins Surround Sound System, a fully-connected infotainment set-up with a curved glass screen and sat-nav, as well as BMW’s cosseting adaptive two-axle air suspension system.
Meanwhile ‘M Sport’ variants add larger 20 inch alloys, uprated brakes, and a host of style flourishes, such as high-gloss ‘Shadowline’ exterior trim.
If you want to add optional extras, the eye-catching 31.3 inch ‘BMW Theatre Screen’, with built-in Amazon Fire TV, might be on your wish list. It folds out from the roof and spreads horizontally to cover almost the entire rear width of the interior. Passengers in the back can also make use of a pair of Bluetooth headphones while watching their favourite shows or movies.
The ‘xDrive60’ electric drive system generates considerable power of 544hp and max torque of 745 Nm. It makes use of a large 101.7 kWh battery that provides a range of up to 388 miles between charges, which is just shy of that offered by rivals such as the Mercedes-Benz EQS or the Tesla Model S.
The BMW i7 is also capable of rapid charging at speeds of up to 195 kW DC, which can add 106 miles of range to the battery in just 10 minutes. To make sure you get the most out of a charge, have a read of our guide running you through picking your ideal charger.
And remember that because there are zero CO2 emissions at the tailpipe with a BMW i7 lease, it falls into the low 2% Benefit in Kind (BIK) tax bracket for company car purposes.
