No seriously. This is not what BMW are about. The car is fugly. The energy companies are not thinking about renewable sources. BMW going more and more electric is playing into the hands of the UK government who want to ban diesels and gasoline by 2025. It will never happen sooner I hope!

If we invented a machine that could tell which vehicles were similar and which were not, it would tell us that these vehicles are not similar in design.

Absolutely you are correct -- he just needs an eye exam -- I am all about the design details not generalizations.

There are more governments than the UK government. BMW has stated that is moving toward being a tech and mobility company. And electric is the future and the future is very tech driven, so bye-bye gasoline engines. BMW wants in on that Tesla money.
