Well, they've ALREADY fallen behind. The question is can they catch up?
I expect they can. The question is how long it will take to catch up to the Tesla Juggernaut. Tesla has quite a lead. They are delivering the EV vehicles that people want RIGHT NOW. IMHO - Its all about 200+ miles of range...
Jaguar (I-Pace) has been in the game for some months. Audi's (E-Tron) and Benz's (EQC) entrance are imminent. Rivian is getting ready to introduce a a very cool 400+ mile pickup truck and SUV (next year):

I'm on my 3rd EV (inc an i8) and actually wondering what will be next!
Perhaps the Rivian or maybe wait for the Tesla Roadster! These are great times!
The game's clearly "afoot" but BMW has got a lot of catching up to do.
