BMW has ample resources to get itself back to parity with regards to EV platforms, and they will, eventually.
How can the point of this discussion be so widely missed?

The point remains that no one here can identify the numerical or even relative weight contribution of the various systems in the i4. No one here can point by part number on the BOM where a specific compromise was made yet. All the self-appointed experts are simply guessing and making argumentative and conclusory statements...and a first year law student would know the value of those.
