Pros & cons

BMW M850i xDrive

Superb straight-line pace and response backed by 530 hp and 0-100 km/h in 3.7 s.
AWD traction adds confidence in poor weather and on mixed road conditions.
Grand-touring comfort with four seats and a 420-liter trunk suits weekend getaways.
Strong standings for horsepower and safety within its high-performance class.
High price positions it far above mainstream alternatives.
Four-seat coupe layout and two doors limit family flexibility and rear access.
Combined consumption of 10.5 L/100 km will not suit efficiency-first buyers.
Explosive power is overkill for stop-start city use.

BMW i7 xDrive70

Strong performance: 544 hp and 0–100 km/h in 4.7 s make passing effortless
AWD traction adds confidence in varied conditions and performance driving
Room for five and a 500 L trunk suit longer journeys with passengers and luggage
High purchase price at 119,900 targets the top end of the segment
Sedan body offers less cargo flexibility than an SUV despite a generous trunk
Limousine-style size may be harder to maneuver and park than smaller cars
Not aimed at budget-focused or utilitarian buyers; comfort and power take priority
