The German concern BMW AG has, for the first time, outpaced the American company Tesla in the sale of electric cars in the European Union.

We are leasing our cars.
Regarding the feel: The car does feel surprisingly light. Besides his 2.2 metric tons.
At least here in Europe, the Tesla superchargers work with the car.
Not sure if this generation is already available in the US. I am german, so BMW is a natural choice ;).
Currently, BMW is using the same base for combustion and electric cars to safe costs ans be more flexible how to fit the chassis. That may be a reason for the success.
Nor sure how the price in the US is, the list price for my nearly fully equipped i5 is around 90k€. The only thing I am missing is the pneumatic dampeners. They come only with red or blue breaks, and company policy does not allow for “racing looks”.
