Well, glory be! How about that?

This is very encouraging news. Now hopefully they will ditch plans for small FWD EVs on the FAAR platform and start planning some small RWD and AWD EVs with big power that have at least some hope of being exciting.

Also, just in case its not clear, the topic is *not*:

There's a Movement at BMW to Only Develop Electric Platforms

In other words, there are no plans to abandon ICE vehicles. In fact, with the possibility for all future (post 2023-ish) BMW EVs to move to this new dedicated EV platform, the existing CLAR and FAAR vehicle architectures would be freed up to concentrate on what they were originally intended for - to underpin great ICE vehicles.
