They still make good enough cars for us to buy, but these days, so do plenty of other sub-brands (AMG, S's, Jag Type-R, Lexus, ATS, etc).
Nope - BMW "i" cars are not eligible for ED.
Germany, and much of Europe, lag pathetically behind in EV charging infrastructure. You wont make it very far from Munich in an EV.
Same will likely hold for iNext, or iWhenever, or iOopsTooLate...

Alas, you have missed many great things my dear fellow. BMW has given the automotive world many inspirations and firsts. Relevent to the topic was the i3 and i8; both of which showed innovation and lifted the bar of standards.
My concern is that they have developed niche products of outstanding concept and ignored commercialy viable segments where they could have had a bigger return on their investment and now as thier competition respond they are late to arrive at the very destination they pointed to when they conceived of i.
