The problem is this is due in FOUR (4) years! LOL!
In 4 years time Tesla will have 4 years under its belt with Model 3 and already have their refined redesign up to bat. The Model S will be replaced with a clean sheet redesign and new tech plus autonomous driving will already have been in them for years prior giving Tesla a massive head start.
BMW's timeframe here is very poor. They probably have done very little R&D on this car thus far and it is largely vaporware. Release details of a car that will start production in almost half a decade. BMW is very much behind the curve and I'm disappointed to see a vaporware announcement like this in 2017.
By the time 2021 rolls around technology will be so far ahead and design language as well this won't be the car rolling off the line.
I'm sure someday BMW will get there but competition has a massive leap ahead in terms of pure EV's
