Silent Getaway

The all-electric BMW i7 keeps you going.

- Hannah Choo

THE DAY I saw the Netflix series Beef was a week after I drove the BMW i7. Call it great timing but it was interesting to see a bit of history (mine) replayed by Steven Yeun’s Danny Cho, a struggling mechanic, and Ali Wong’s Amy Lau, a wealthy entrepreneur. Someone flips the bird and the two individuals get embroiled in road rage, resulting in a series of unfortunate incidents that escalate through the 10 episodes. Not that it was as dramatic as depicted, but I did learn a couple of things: losing your cool in public is, well, never cool, and if you’re being yelled at from the seat of a BMW i7, it could always be worse.
