I have 2 theories. both could be right. like eps, bmw was trying to introduce a new mass tech(yes the 1st gen z4 had it allready) in its lineup before anyone else and did not have time to make it right (unlike porsche that waited to create an excellent eps b4 putting it in the market) second bmw simply cant compete with the vw group. due to component crossing between brands in the vw group they can reduce cost and improve quality yet keeping profit. But I think bmw got this wrong. I had 100k in the bank for this car. went to frankfurt 4 or 5 years ago just to see it. when I saw the glass front headlamps instead of the stunning glasseless one on the concept and the interior quality I put a deposit on an i3 - 3 weeks to delivery - and Im waiting for an m3 test drive to decide between it (weights less but again poor interior) or the m5 (fat ass but incredible interior specially with B&O sound.
