Honestly, I have no idea what the actual capacity is on any given day. In my normal around-the-city driving, I rarely go more than 30, and I have almost never "run out." I tell people my car is an EV 300+ days a year.

I don't know if the BMW shows this, but you can see miles/kWh on most EVs. It is a much better indicator of range than the guess-o-meter.
You can honestly drive yourself crazy with range stuff. I think plug-in hybrids are a smart move right now, especially if most of your average driving is commuting to the office with occasional longer trips.
My unsolicited advice is not to pay much attention to the range. Drive it and enjoy it... punch it occasionally or all the time if that is what you like.
