Actor Ranveer Singh has reportedly bought the BMW i7 electric luxury sedan, with videos circulating on social media showing the actor taking delivery of the car. The purchase appears to be a personal one rather than a promotional gift from BMW India.
BMW India has launched the latest 7 Series in petrol and all electric versions, with Ranveer Singh joining the brand as its new ambassador. Priced at Rs 1.95 crore (ex-showroom), the luxury sedan packs a 14.6-inch passenger display, a panoramic head-up display and a 31.3-inch 8K screen for rear-seat passengers, bringing a cinematic experience to the back seat.
