Im a BMW guy but I can not get over the poor design of bmw electric cars compare to Porsche, Audi and even Tesla.
They have to fit an ICE powertrain in this vehicle too, much like what Maserati is doing for the Grecale, MC20, etc.

But anyhow, I do think all BMW's sedans look chunky and bloated AF for no good reason. Even a basic 330 is so massive with such a high hood. The last 7er in my opinion to have a truly sleek, low, and wide stance was the E65 (which looked really great after the LCI).
I7 is pure electric.
Bmw problem is, unlike Porsche (and obviously Tesla) uses the same body for ICE and electric cars. Not having an ICE in front gives lots of design opportunities (look at BMWs own i8).
