Let's look at the Taycan... Porsche's stated goal for that car was to make it drive as much as possible like a 911. BMW's stated goal for their EV is, umm, what exactly?
The last BMW marketing campaign where 7 series was labeled as a dinosaur in every dimension did not energize the loyal customer base. I sense the ad agency is receiving a stern 360 degree feedback from BMW marketing executives (but we will never know).

BMW is working on the first ever M electric vehicle but the details are sketchy.

I hope BMW will get i4 right first.
