TWO WEEKS; TWO countries; 2500 miles. Those stats could apply to the annual Tour de France cycle race, but they’re actually from my BMW X7’s own tour of France, when colleague Will Nightingale borrowed it for an epic holiday.
The initial destination was a small town near Nice, a near-900-mile drive from London. Such a long journey, spread over two days, is hardly a barrel of laughs – but Will commented that there isn’t another car on the planet he’d have rather used, and I’d probably agree.
