Let's be realistic here - there will never be hydrogen infrastructure in place to support consumer light duty vehicles. As such, this strategy is DOA and BMW looks be wasting millions here.

Not sure they are completely wrong here...check out Hyundai, they are working since 2002 intesive on hydrogen technology, and are actually starting to sell a lot of hydrogen trucks and busses and are lounching their first consumer cars...they even are building house supply hydrogen packs like tesla with their batteries...
So I see it at the very beginning and as you get more and more infrastructure for industry use, they also will become more and more available for consumers...
We need other options than BEV and specially a replacement for ICE...especially for markets in the world, where you will never have good and realistic charging infrastructure.
I still believe BEVs are not going to be the "final ICE replacment solution", so good to see there is competition on this technology
