What's the purpose if that given the fact that the 530e is already 4-cilinder? What are the specs of the 520e then? |

It certainly appears to be the case, doesn’t it?

Could be that the 530e is not economical enough to clear some regulation thresholds for subsidies, so they decided to detune it further in order to make it appeal to corporate customers that have CO2 limits etc.

I've never ever seen a new model completely ignored. Yes there was a launch thread etc but why do they not have a section within Bimmerpost odd!?

With the original i3 known to be continuing for a few more years and the G28 BEV known to be coming soon, the product names were on a collision course. I'm just not sure i330 is distinct enough from 330i given the big differences under the skin. I'll bet they now wish they'd called the i3 the "i2".
"M245i" sounds like a B58 TU2 might be coming. |

BMW is far more interested in saving their own ass than the planet. But in any case, I'd ask that you please use the political forum to discuss the topic of EV demand further.

BMW should just go for the grand salami and make it the M250i.

Personally I'd buy the last gen 1er in M sport 140i flavor with RWD/MT (low KM of course) before the new version (even if the new one "puts the power down" better). If I were going the non-RWD route I'd do a manual VW GTI |
