Almost every car manufacturer in the world has either launched or is currently working on an electric car, and German car manufacturer BMW is no different. The luxury car manufacturer already has several electric cars in their lineup, including the BMW i7, which is the all-electric luxury flagship sedan sitting on top of the i-series lineup of electric vehicles. Recently, BMW officially launched the i7 luxury sedan in India, and it has already been purchased by many people, including celebrities. Essentially, the BMW i7 is the all-electric version of BMW’s 7-Series flagship sedan.
In a video uploaded by EVM Autokraft on their YouTube channel, we can see the delivery of Kerala’s first BMW i7 luxury sedan to its customer. EVM Autokraft is a BMW authorized dealer in Kerala. The video showcases the delivery process and captures the customer’s reaction upon seeing the car. Instead of visiting the dealership, the customer opted for home delivery, and the car was delivered to their house after being cleaned and securely loaded onto a closed truck. Home delivery of brand new cars is a service offered by many brands.
The owner of the new BMW i7 is a hotelier in Kerala, and he has been a loyal customer of BMW since 2009. He had been driving the BMW 7-Series for the past five years, and when he learned about the i7, he expressed his desire to buy it and have it be the first i7 in Kerala. The customer and his son got in touch with EVM Autokraft, and their wish was fulfilled. The BMW i7 sedan featured in the video is indeed the first electric flagship sedan from the brand in Kerala. The customer chose the Mineral White Metallic shade for his i7.
