There is significant criticism here directed at BMW's pace and general strategy. But I have not seen anyone offer up and alternate timeline for ICE phase-out. Nor for that matter, have I seen a similar exercise covering BMW's traditional competitors to demonstrate where BMW is off the mark.
No one on this forum is going to accurately predict if the ICE phase out should be 2030/2040/2050. I think the point some people are trying to make is that it is obvious from this interview that BMW has a very conservative approach to offering a competitive mix of BEV vehicles, and as a result, it's costing them sales.
