Instead, what matters most when it comes to dollar figures is the average transaction price, which I suspect will be around $60k. I'm sure that's still significantly higher than the average price of a Model 3, but it might be low enough to attain more volume (and perhaps, as a result, more profit) than Audi and Jaguar have with their first attempts at luxury BEVs.
Also BMW is a leasing company that accidentally sells cars once in a while. If they can slide people into this car from their 5 or 3 with pretty close to the same “total cost” per month, it’ll still “sell”
