    Most powerful X4 ever — and half a tonne heavier than the last one. All those horses just move the guilt.

    603 hp to shift two and a half tonnes of battery to the shops. Our motorways crawl at 50. Marvellous progress, that.

    Another oversized electric brick marketed as progress. It will sit in traffic, drain the grid, and eat tyres like crisps. Insurance will cost a mortgage. Software will brick it in a car park. Then it’s recalled, deprecated, worthless. The future, apparently. I’ve seen this film. It ends in a scrapyard with a smug grin.
