On top of this some of the packages for charging etc look expensive. It will remain a niche product in the UK for a long time. In the meantime BMW' s profit on this car will get squeezed as Nissan and others reduce their price to ensure they get their share of a very small market. If anything people are starting to realise that 'Green' initiatives are very expensive. I am buying one to try the new technology but it won't be a game changer until BMW can get the range of a Tesla delivered at the price of an i3
I am not a salesman only the picture man but I am still sure there will be a healthy amount of orders before the official UK launch.
