Palm Springs California is a suitably swanky location for what is possibly the ultimate luxury car. Although given that 42% of BMW's 7 Series customers are now in China, Beijing or Shanghai would have probably worked as well.

The challenge was to design a car which appealed to both these upwardly mobile, younger Chinese buyers, and the older BMW faithful. The result is a design which is quite challenging but has undeniable presence.

We also take a look at the gigantic 31 inch rear TV which has certainly made waves and gone viral on social media.

Ashley takes all three models for a drive and also answers which new 7 Series variants will be introduced in South Africa.

So, what's an electric BMW 7-Series like to drive? Only one way to find out.
