BMW seems to rate their EV range like they rated the S55/58/63/8's horsepower.

Yep, it makes that much power. In Telluride, in 100 degree weather, on 85 octane

This is a good thing. More manufacturers need to under promise and over deliver. My model X was rated at 371 new. It's now showing 347 after 47,000 miles, and it can do that, at 45 mph, in 70 degree temperatures, on a calm day. At real highway speeds, you're looking at 200-250miles depending on weather

I got to sit in an i5 that was on the showroom floor the other day and it's amazing a) how much it is no bigger than the F10/W212 I shopped for Wifebot 6 years ago inside, despite being significantly larger and heavier overall and b) how well-made new BMW interiors look and feel even with the dashboard panoramic TV screen. I like them a lot more than contemporary Merc and Audi interiors now, which is not something I felt about G01 or F10. I also was amazed they had it set to sit at 100% all the time.

Please send us the wagon (with a NACS port)
