The i3 is a really good car, I never said it's bad. It is (or was) also one of the very few proper electric city cars. Tesla has yet to make a decent small size city car. So I fully agree with your post.

It's just that I don't understand why BMW won't make their current lineup of luxury saloons and SUV's available in an all-electric version. It feels like they are missing the boat.

I really hope for them that the next-gen cars will have an electric version, or else they will stand to lose a large portion of the market they currently own.
