While I don't think these will attract a lot of BMW's core buyers, it will draw new people to the roundel who would typically purchase the previously mentioned cars. Also the reliability and peace of mind knowing that the brand is not going to vanish when it's shareholders cut and run is reassuring too.
It will attract the same niche buyer for the most part. People who want a sporty hybrid that looks better than the other junk out there.
The Tesla got crushed in a comparo with a Boxster S. The Boxster not only walked it after 60 mph but embarassed it in handling and track times. So yea, youre going to pay 150K for a car with that looks the part but cant back it up with actual performance.
