with that range, plus the styling, interior(better be good) and brand cachet, it will be enough to take tesla down a notch, might even solidify BMW as a sector leader.
my worry is bmw won't fully commit to making this car, they are gonna end up pricing this car twice as expensive as a similarly equipped 3 series, or limit the production numbers and handwave some bullshit excuse like battery production limitation or something, and force this car into the high margin low volume sector. since they know once most people(non car ppl) get a taste of proper EV with useful long range, it'll cannibalize their ICE sales and hurt their bottom line.
