I've had my i3 for six months now and love it as my city car. I'm going to want an intercity car to complement it and from what I've read, the 2017 5-series will be perfect. Lighter, and with a mode that allows all-electric in around town speeds and gas kick-in for higher speeds. I will get the benefit of a hybrid on intercity trips and the ability to get to the highway on city streets in electric mode. A perfect complement to the i3's short grocery, etc. runs. I do hope there is a commonality in the controls. It will really be nice if the same controls do the same things in both cars. It will give a very good reason for keeping my purchases in the same "family".
