Its whopping 113kWh battery offers a driving range of up to 727km, according to WLTP standards.

DC charging from 10 to 80 per cent takes under half-an-hour, with 235km of range able to be added in just 10 minutes.

There is also a BMW’s 3D head-up display, spanning the length of the dashboard and automatic air conditioning.

Seats come with massage function in both the front and rear seats, along with heating functionality for front and rear outer seats.
