Press release is boring example of hype of something that will never happen. BMW is a day late and a dollar short in the EV world, after being in front with the i3. So sad that instead of cutting edge cars, we are getting PR hype. Not clear that BMW will even survive the transition to electric after their decision to go with combo EV/PHEV/ICE platforms. Was a World leader in ICE platforms (except for styling of late), but now an also-ran. Reminds me of Toyota, who bet on Hydrogen and is now playing catch up for EV's. Toyota is big enough to survive the false start--Is BMW?
