Again that is the genius and why it is the envy of our competitors because once again it shows BMW continues to lead in innovation.
BMWi started the revolution to implement CFRP within the volume portfolio next years 7er starts that ball rolling to make BMWs models lighter than their competitors.

Having driven the FWD Active Tourer and the MINI I can tell you that both cars do not drive the same even though they use the same matrix underneath in some various form underneath.
Oh and the "i" thing, yeah the Nissan Leaf gets the same range as the i3, but without all the cost and carbon fiber.
