BMW has embedded ABS and DSC directly into the electric motors.

Anyway, BMW has plenty of new tech in the car.

The i3 / i8 tech i was referring to was the massive investment in the carbon body structures that they touted as the next coming. Body tech, not infotainment tech. Doesn't seem to have made much of an impact on the rest of the range. Let's hope the iX is the re-start of this line of design ethos.
