BMW wants you to believe . . . because they went all in on the agenda

Playing a game of chicken with "drill baby drill" . . . road conditions about to become 'ICEy' again

Interesting. Could be cool. I do think BMW will make the best performing electric cars out of the competition.

Did you watch any of the video? In the first few minutes, he explains that they know what EV is capable of. We all know what EV is capable of now too. Some of it is practical and some impractical. We can embrace the practical and the fun while using ICE too.

Kinda wish they had a 4-door m4 (gran coupe). Hatchback looks even better than the m3 imo.

German manufacturers do the R&D and pay for it for the Chinese and Korean manufacturers (and Elon) to copy paste.

'Capability', practicality, desirability, affordability, etc are all factors . . . the public has spoken clearly with a resounding 'no thank you'

BMW seems to be committed to an agenda they 'banked' on . . .

The path forward has already been proclaimed . . . 'drill baby drill'

The path forward is ice, EV, and hybrid. You have no choice but to comply. The only stand you are taking is the one in your head.

This thread took exactly 5 replies to begin devolving.

What you write is a short term path for next ~10 years.

Past 2035 EVs will be the norm. All the smug gassers will either eat their shitposts or be dead.

In the meantime,

The incoming i4M will be that car

The M2 will replace the current M4

I wonder why they are showing that M2 in so much of the promotion.....

I fantasize about a manual electric coupe... ( i'm ok if it's sandbagged to apply a 6MT )
