Unfortunately, the more I look at it the more I realize BMW designers’ dreams were subverted for the sake of aerodynamics, i.e., drag coefficients.
The problem is the tech isn’t advanced enough on the battery to be efficient…. Mercedes did the same thing - but worse.
Crazy how far behind they are on this. When tesla created the bev successfully, bmw should have woken up. There is no way I’d buy a 5300 lb sports sedan with this egg shaped look, as much as I am loyal to bmw.
I actually don’t like teslas for their cheap interior, but they are so efficient and simple compared to this mess. Imagine telling your friends I have a 5 i M 60 X drive. It’s over complicated, heavy, blah range and sacrifice range for acceleration. Huge battery. A base model S beats this car in every dimension - faster, more range, lighter, simpler, faster charge rate.
I would buy it for my mom, but for me it’s pretty clear cut.
