I agree with you and think you have a good sense of the market. My wife and I each own a BMW, and I don't think that will change going forward. I hope we can live our our retirement years at a level of i3, X3D or X3e luxury vehicles. That is the plan. I don't trust GM--never owned one of their cars after my '57 Chevy DD in college, and as for the Leaf, its a nice grocery getter--not in the same league as the i3. I am just finishing a lease on my Smart ED and the i3 I just assumed is a considerable upgrade. These do cost more, but that is what I spent my life working to achieve, be able to afford nice things. I will probably never do the i8, but hope to be able to maintain the 3 series level.
