I’m not too worried, to be honest. I’m well aware of the responsiveness difference between an(y) EV and a mid-range diesel.
The cars I’ve been driving so far have typically had the staple 140 HP VAG motor. The 520d has 197 HP, and although slightly longer and heavier than the Skoda Superb, should be able to do quite well.
If I had wanted the «typical» BMW experience, I would’ve bought something smaller, like a 3-series. I don’t really care that much, as long a it gets me where I want, with a decent amount of power. The car salesman also vouched for it…

In late September, when I get it, I will let you know what I think.

Any other thoughts in the meantime are of course much appreciated, even though it might not change much.
In that case, I suspect you'll be very happy with your car once it arrives! Congratulations and be sure to post pictures in the forum here when you're ready.
