No doubt it is a good car, certainly not the best at this price range.
Now that the i3 has been banned from sale due to the safety/impact issue, it's pretty obvious where this "project i" is heading now.
Not to mention, the market has shown that it just doesn't work.
If BMWi was a failure then we would not showcase our Vision iDynamics that will launch in production form at the 2019 IAA. BMWi exists in other markets and is successful for the two core products on offer.
Our i3 sales have increased with the introduction of 94h. I drove the i3S this week in Portugal along with the new M5. And I can see this addition be equally successful the original i3 is already pretty rapid but S gives a very BMW dynamic feeling to its handling of course what makes i3 great is its unique CFRP structure. You feel the benefits instantly. Truly one of the best modern day BMWs.
