A test drive would help a lot. They are really a night and day different driving experience overall. The Tesla is like a magic carpet ride. The BMW is a Beast that must be controlled. One thing that bothered me about the Tesla was the driver/car interface. Virtually every command must go through the laptop screen which looks like it is nailed to the dashboard. Then you have to look away from the road in order to touch, slide and tap the screen to navigate the control menus. My M2C has the iDrive touch screen but I've have never touched it! Can you imagine the screen in your car that looks like a tablet screen with fingerprints and smudges all over it? I know it must seem petty but for some it would be an unbearable thing to look at.
