The e93 M3 is a pig of a car that should have never been built. Not sure why someone would want to own a M3 with 400lbs of extra weight. Wrong car and engine for a hardtop convertible. Of course a 130k car is better than a 80k car. Shocking! Why didn't you cross shop the X against the X5M, the AMG GL, or Cayenne Turbo S? Because the story doesn't sound as good against competitors in the same league. |

You could lease the 330e and turn it in by the time the tesla is ready

I3 has the looks of the pontiac Aztec. And it had the sales to match. Glad it's dying the undignified death it deserved.

Agree, but if you're only getting 14 miles of electric range what's the point in having the car at all? Release it when you get it to return maybe 40-50 miles of electric range and then the car becomes compelling.

I did cross shop for some of the cars you mentioned above. I needed a 7-seat SUV, which narrows the field. I did not want a small tank with outdated design and technology so off the GL. The X5 third row is a joke BMW tried to play with their clients. First one to be crossed off the list.The only contenders were the new Q7 and the new XC90. But them I test drove a Model S and decided I was definitely going electric. At that point there was only one choice. However, even if the Model X had a gas engine, it would beat all the cars you mention. Not even close. Now let me ask you: Have you actually driven a Model X? Or a Model S?

I have seen several up close and in person. I find it to be awesome inside and out, and very non-Korean. If anything, BMW has migrated toward a more homogeneous, Asian design language.

The regular Tesla looks extremely cheap to me on the inside. Lots of hard plastic, and in general, very unrefined. Honestly feels like a cheap rental inside, just with that odd 42" screen in the dash like the Hot Boys had back in the days.

I have one of the most comfortable perforated and ventilated leather seats ever designed, two-tone high-end leather in steering wheel, doors panels, dashboard and all over, alcantara headliner, heating in all 7 seats, heated steering wheel, matte obeche wood trim, electric adjustment for everything. Even the windshield wipers are heated! How many cheap rental cars have the sun visor covered in alcantara? Are you really sure you have actually seem one inside? The center screen maybe controversial for the uninitiated. I happen to think it is extremely functional and gives the car a sophisticated and clean look. But this is my opinion. The high-end interior is a indisputable fact. If you disagree, point to me a cheap rental car that has a similar level of refinement in the interior. I know of none. Or just tell me what pieces of cheap plastic you are referring to.

Instead of poking fun of Tesla and insulting the consumers they are trying to attract with in a nonsensical commercial, BMW should try to figure out why someone like me, a bimmer fan, would pay way north of 100K for an electric car. Or why 400,000 people passed on the "Ultimate Driving Machine" and put down $1,000 of their hard cash to wait for a car they have not even seem yet.
I think I know why. If BMW thinks those people would actually consider their 330e, they are up for a rude awakening... A piece of unsolicited advice: Book a test drive for a Model X or Model S. Take it for a spin. It is free. It does not hurt. Maybe then you can actually render a constructive opinion as opposed to make silly statements about cheap interior or insults to the "non-enthusiasts".

Don't get me wrong: A base S is way more expensive than a base 5, but people who buy Teslas are not necessarily looking for the cheapest car. They are just looking for the best car! When you buy a base S, you are paying for the battery pack. If you want the best all electric sedan, there is no competition. If you a 7-seat electric SUV, there is no competition. If you put price-to-price comparisons aside, the high-end Tesla interior is nicer than pretty much any BMW being currently produced.

Apparently some people in this forum are not paying attention to the news. Or just ignoring the facts. This seems to be a trend now, especially with the Trump crowd
