I'm sorry but this i3S is not even close to being enough to compete with the competition.

A message to BMW: I love you as a car manufacturer, but please Stop trying to play it safe and just destroy the competition will you?
Yes I was hoping it would soundly beat the Bolt 0-60 time by at least half a second. Should have been a sub 6 second 0-60mph car. Will have to see the quarter trap speed to see what higher speed improvements there are. Could be significant considering the similar HP but much heaver B clas trapped like 5mph faster than the current i3.
