I might have been willing to make the jump to an EV for the i5 M60, but I just can’t get past the inadequate range. Until there are ultra-fast chargers widely deployed, it’s just a non-starter for me.
With the Neue Klasse coming out in about 2 years, the current CLAR based BEV i4, i5, i7 will become obsolete pretty quickly. The new chassis/batteries from the Neue Klasse are supposed to make the car 33% lighter, 33% longer range, and 33% faster charging.

Maybe by then charging stations will be a lot more common and available like gas stations are.

Until then I’m going to keep my 2023 G30 540i and enjoy the ICE tradition instead of quickly racing out to buy that new “Shiny look at me look at me” BEV product.
