An unstoppable force from the future meets an immovable object from the present...
Challenging the status quo has consistently been considered a pivotal factor in instigating a revolutionary change. Be it politics, culture, or technology, history is rife with examples of those who rebelled against conventional norms and emerged as catalysts for reform, fundamentally redefining and reshaping the rules of the game in their respective fields.
However, such a disruptive strategy for bringing about innovation is not a guaranteed winning formula. Straying too far from fundamental principles can also be counterproductive. ‘Too much change is bad, ask the climate!’ said the great Michael Scott once, and although it’s worth a giggle, there’s some truth in that. In our quest to achieve greatness, we often end up making things worse for ourselves.
This brings me to BMW and its ongoing adventures.

And the latest example of this shift is the brand-new i7.
