Now we should see CEO who pushes for excellent EV driver cars, considering ICE vehicles are easy these days to make driver orientated with all the experience they got pretty much everyone knows how to do a proper ICE vehicle now lets see them do a proper BMW M i Car with a range of 500-600 km/h and a real proper drivers car. Looking forward for BMW's future now.
I think we see this management failure in the slow roll-out of the next generation of PHEV's. Almost a full year gap between the end of the F-generation of PHEV's and the G-generation. Except for left-overs on dealer lots, it seems there are no PHEV's currently available in the USA. Just now hitting Europe, with US availability postponed to 2020.
To add to that, hybrid technology doesn't have to be limited to boring, purely energy efficient, snooze fest vehicles. As an example look to MB AMG for how hybrid technology can be utilized to create cars that are also exciting to drive.
