I think we really gotta preface this with electric vehicles as they are today. I think electric vehicles are still how top gear described the i8 many years ago- like old clunky laptops. Big heavy batteries that ruin driving dynamics. I hold my optimism in us getting significantly smaller batteries within a few years. Ideally a smaller range with swapable tiny batteries is still what I hope for most.
This generation of EVs is still in its infancy if you think about it. A new source of propulsion should be exciting but they’re trying to fit it per the exact same form factor as before and same range too.
I think if BMW made an EV with a small light battery- but swappable, E39 styling, and real M suspension and chassis from the last gen M5 CS and any hydraulic steering from past gens for that extra throwback it would be a huge hit.
