20% better efficiency compared to it's predecessor. Love to hear that more and more companies are trying to lower their energy consumption. I still hope for smaller models rather than dozens of SUVs.
That was my first thought too.
It looks like they changed their mind more than once when designing that front, as if it is made of random parts that don't fit together, it kind of looks broken!?
The rest of the car is excruciatingly boring, completely lacking expression.
Most German soon drive Chinese EVs, most sold domestic cars are company and rental cars. Most German cars are build for export to the US / China or manufactured abroad.
Not even a whole quantum leap?
They should know that a quantum leap is an infinitesimally small leap.
Like if the old one did 500 km and the new one did 500.0000000000000001 km. (12 zeroes for picometer, and an extra 3 because it's km)
A quantum leap is when an electron of an atom changes energy state, that is a leap that is in the picometer (pm) range, that is a number with 12 zeroes after the decimal point, before you actually get to a number with any actual value.
Since 99.9% or rapid chargers are 350kW or lower it doesn't really matter yet other than for future proofing. And 400kW is really more than you will ever need

Looks ugly as fuck
All these new bmw's are hideous

Designed by committee to minimize risk.

Just saying to help other people not look stupid.
Up to 400 kw charging speed and an average above 200 kw? (based on the 10-80% metric). That's really impressive.
No 400 kW charging is actually a bit underwhelming, any new Chinese competitor in that price range has 800 kW and BYD is up to 1 MW now.
I suppose for practical purposes 400 kW is OK if it has a good charge profile, but it is far from impressive.
Since 99.9% or rapid chargers are 350kW or lower it doesn't really matter yet other than for future proofing. And 400kW is really more than you will ever need
True, but that doesn't make 400 kW impressive when similar cars from China have double that.
