I had an F31 wagon and left BMW to Polestar. I’m done with ICE. My lease is up this year, and I’d buy an i5 wagon. I have zero interest in an M5 touring ICE (or hybrid or PHEV)

I think you will find running ethanol is more sustainable than strip mining the earth for precious metals and charging up on coal power. |

If you are worried about precoius metals, stop watching TV, or using your phone screen and tablets. They are all using precius metals and every couple of years go to landfill so we can brag we have the latest toys someone else has designed and built. |

But have you seen how much stuff is under the hood of the i4 i know when i had it and opened the plastics cover i was like What in the actual F is all this ? And it seems like the i5 looks more BMW traditionalist then previously maybe the lights are a bit different but i like this more then the sedan, this seems to be the e40 version so the m60 will probably a bit different then the e40, unless they keep it exactly the same sense this one is with the M-Sport package. It also looks like they removed the number 5 from the C pillar that is on the sedan.

You do know that BMW uses a wound rotor synchronous motor that requires zero rare earth metals as there is no permanent magnet, unlike other motors like Tesla. You are in a BMW forum. At least be somewhat knowledgeable about the technology that they use.

I really appreciate all the concern over sourcing of rare materials yet the willful ignorance of the vast impacts caused by a century of wars, political poisoning, and environmental degradation caused by the insatiable appetite for fossil fuels.
If one is so worried about the impact of resource extraction, then one side should not be encouraging the other to drive a different type of car, but instead should be encouraging them to take a train, a bus, a bike, or to walk. This thread has already devolved with commentary found in many other places, instead of a focus on the tease of the new i5 touring. Is this what will happen with every new electric BMW reveal? For the next 5 years? It’s frankly tiring and distracting; we get it: you hate EVs, but let the rest of us enjoy the positivity of a new wagon reveal. That should be considered a win considering the seeming fate of wagons. Now BMW: bring this one to America!!

I’m all for people buying what they want but that reasoning for buying an EV is logically false from an environmental sustainability perspective.

And the weird flex on the BMW forums continues…
Listen, if you are all so damn smart then how do you keep falling for the ICE vs EV troll? Nice Wagon. Hope they sell a lot of them.

If that feature is gone, I might as well get any other wagon. It was the defining characteristic of my f31. I used it multiple times a day. I don't like waiting for an electric tailgate to open when I just need to grab my backpack real quick.
