We Hear: Electrified BMW i3, i8 in Trouble? Automaker Talking Contingency Plans - MotorTrend Magazine
By now, BMW expected the world to have taken a few crucial first steps toward electrification, but things aren’t progressing as quickly as the automaker had hoped, the report suggests. And seeing as BMW expects to sell 100,000 i3 units per year at 335i sedan prices (in the ballpark of $45,000), that’s not good news. In response to the world’s slow progress, BMW has shelved its proposed i1 intra-city car and i5 van. If the new models fail to successfully launch, it may spell bad news for sports car fans too, as the long overdue M1 supercar will likely have to wait until the i8 coupe can find its footing in the market.
