I just want an electric BMW with the normal E90 styling of the beautiful 3 series full electric with 500~1,000 km range on a single charge competing with the Tesla current model S performance.

BMW need to drop the silly looking i3 that no one wants, and build a car that everyone wants.

This new iNext is the same crap as i3... except an X3 or X5 syling... I hope I'm wrong and it's a normal 3 series!

A: Private sales of EVs simply aren't successful when they aren't immediately recognized as an EV. I believe this is due to the need for EVs to deliver clear "virtue signals" that the owner/driver is environmentally conscious. This messaging is a significant part of the appeal of these vehicles.
