I read Scott26 say somewhere that the financial livelihood of BMW is tied to the BMW i series - that they've invested that much into it. Hope not, because if so, BMW is about to be in bad shape.

In the looks department I can't think of too many other competing products that look much better (not that I think the i3 looks too bad anyway), and as far as it being a lacklustre package for the price, over here where we have more engine options and BMW's aren't so cheap, you don't exactly get a high performance model at this price anywhere else in the range.
I'm also reasonably sure that BMW made project-i work on more than level before committing billions to it - rather than just hoping to win over M3 drivers with i3's, so I wouldn't worry too much.
