So BMW "called shotgun" first, then? I think the Mercedes press release I linked to and use of the term CASE dates back only to last year's Paris show which was in September (it alternates bi-anually with Frankfurt). As you you point out, BMW used ACES as early as July of last year.
At any rate, I still think BMW has gone absolutely scatter-brain with their electric strategy. They are all over the place.
And what happened to the electric 3 Series that was spoken about in the other thread I linked to, which was suggested to be coming to Frankfurt? Has that too now been scrubbed in favor of promoting the i brand? What about the announcement just recently of electric versions of other CLAR BMW Series vehicles? All gone? Just what the heck are they doing? Whose steering the ship, BMW?
