The electric cars Ford build like the electric Focus offer the same range.

It's made of carbon fiber and aluminium and still weighs 2700lbs?! come on...

The interior doesn't look as big as a 3 series.

And it costs the same as a gorgeous looking 428i coupe...


It's a nice EV, but it's not something BMW should build.

I can't predict how it will perform saleswise, but I'm inclined to think that this i venture of BMW is going to fail.
It's going to perform as good as the leaf from Nissan. I feel that people are ready for electric hybrids not full on EVs. I for one would love to own a daily hybrid but the thought of only electric and no back up gas engine to give me range (meaning long distance not to just charge the battery) erks me.

I like the car. These pics surprised me because up until now I really wasn't feeling it.
