Let's be honest, the current i3 should have been named the i2 but BMW of course wanted to charge more money, thus killing the connection to the 3 series brand, requiring an i4 which will be akin to a 3 series but breaking their now ignored naming scheme of even numbers for coupes, odd numbers for saloons.
BMW's vision has become shorter and shorter, ironic as the original Vision Concept eventually became the i8. That concept came out in 2009, 10 years ago! They were SO far ahead of everyone and now they are SO very far behind, it's embarrassing.
Just look at this thing, I had such high hopes for BMW back then...
