My i4M50 is much more sure footed in the rain than your 540ix. Is just as quiet and smooth riding (adaptive air suspension), will kill it 0-60 (3.3 sec) and is 3x more efficient. And I can carry a full size desk in the hatchback cargo area. In every scenario that is important to me, the gas vehicle is inferior. Not to mention I can preheat-cool my interior from my phone, even if it were parked in doors. A same weight EV will kill the ICE cars. Did you not see the videos? And EV that weighs 1000lbs more than the gas car, can still be competitive.
EVs make awesome short-distance daily drivers. Ok got it.

A 5000+lb EV on a racetrack will need to change tires as often as it needs to charge - every few laps. Can we PLEASE stop pretending EVs are race cars?
