Build and sell it for under $30,00 and they may have something. Until then, it will remain an expensive toy.
The only bad news: The BMW Vision is more vision than production-ready concept car. What you'd most likely see on sale would be the key components such as the drivetrain and battery technology transplanted to a more mainstream body.
Then, no thank you... With the exception of the new 650i, the new beemers are ugly turds with wheels... I keep my 3 old e28s and the e30, they are built so much better...
Other than the all-glass doors, I don’t see anything that would prevent this from rolling into showrooms in the next 2 years as-is. The looks aren’t all that far off of the mainstream, particularly for BMW, whose non-sedan/non-crossover vehicles are all a bit quirky (Z3, Z4, 6-series, Z8). As it is a hybrid, and an unusual one at that, the styling seems fine. Paint it something other than the white/blue, and you’d not likely pick it out of a lineup of current vehicles easily. Also, the paint it does have is close to the current scheme on the company’s bikes, particularly the HP2 and its other high-sport offerings.
Not enough room to haul my stuff.

Another suppository shaped vehicle. Great.
BMW’s 31 miles of all electric drive is not “about” Volt’s 40 miles of all electric drive.
Plus it looks like all that tech would cost about $200K.
Get it “around” the Volt’s $40K then we are talk’n.
Our lame grid system is going to hurt the future of electric cars in this country.
Where does all of this fit into the laws of thermodynamics or they simply bypassed that nasty little bit of reality?
Nice. Would definitely drive that.
