There is deliberation especially when it comes to the door apertures for production. A forthcoming concept will illustrate ideas but not necessary the final choice. Also under deliberation is the grille in which it might feature a Vision Next 100 which is shorter in width but longer in length over a grille longer in width than length. The Grille is mainly the character but of the i8 and i3 is not entirely functional.
It's true the more aerodynamic language of the i8 is inherited but there is also overtones of ideas shown from the outline of the Vision Next 100. Make no mistake but they really want to be radical with this car in both exterior and interior similar to the i8's cutting edge persona. It will also bring forth advancements in Autonomous driving. It's what I am involved with just now at one of its "off site" conceptual centres spread across the world.
What about my comment about the mini EV in 2019 and the all EV SUV X3 coming in 2020?
The info is from Norvegian BMW CEO i belive.
The Jag SUV is coming late this year, Audi brings an EV SUV next year, MB also. BMW needs to get down to EV business fast. I own a i3, and love it to bits, and want to expand my BMW EV portefolio, Norway is ready for it
