BMW’s flagship all-electric vehicle, the i3, just got a slight makeover. The German automaker unveiled the 2018 model and changes we can expect.

The 2018 i3 still possesses the same 33 kWh battery pack, enabling it to pack in 124 miles of range. When it was first introduced last year, the new battery pack gave BMW an edge when it came to all-electric range.

Whispers of a possible X7 date back more than a decade, but BMW has been reluctant to launch a larger vehicle, instead focusing on smaller models. Finally in 2014, the strong demand for a larger SUV got the green light. Based on the prototypes, the X7 will be based on the X5 and a modular platform they are…
