However my guess is BMW will make a Mennekes to J1772 adaptor and let the European delivery customers use that as well as provide you with a list of local public charging locations so you know where you can plug in. I would like to do this also when I get my i3 if the option ifs there.

I'm with you on i3ED! I think the limited range would make me slow down and enjoy the trip. (Doing ED eleven years ago for an E46 325xit was a memorable trip, and that was before the Welt!)
