Conversely -- and speaking as a half-full type of guy -- I LOVE the fact that with the further introduction of the new i7 eDrive50, one can get the exact same car as the 60, so long as they are fine with it (1) being RWD instead of AWD, and (2) 449HP, a decrease of a mere 87HP, for almost $20,000 less!

Their marketing department is definitely high on methamphetamines! XMs are seeing real-world discounting of $15-20k off MSRP as the market is flooded with these things and most aren't biting at the sticker price. I expect the same to occur if BMW overproduces the i7 M70 like they have the XM |

Bring out a car that no one asked for, price it with an absurdly high price tag and confuse the heck out of the buyers. Once everyone is confused and 100K looks cheap in comparison, start increasing all prices by 10-20K blaming the inflation and supply chain issues while you point out at the price if the XM and tell buyers that they are actually getting a bargain! Later, bring out other cars like the M70 and ask for 200K! All justified. Even with 15-20K discounts, they are still making a ton of money as the XM has a boat load of shared parts with the other BMW series. Actually, this is brilliant marketing tactics relying on peoples gullibility and shortness of memory. Tell people that they are getting the "ultimate" BMW and repeat it ad nauseum until they start believing and you have your pricing at the level you want. It doesn't matter if the car is ugly, not practical, or something that noone asked for. It is like a Trojan Horse to distract the market. So expensive that anything else looks like a bargain. So ugly that any other design is acceptable.

List price does not really matter, there are huge margins on these cars. Marketing department is probably not going to change annything They sell for what moves them from the lot. Hopefully nobody paid MSRP

Potential to take on Lambo is lost when you forgot to plug it in. That’s just lost power. These monsters that run only on gas are easy warriors. Add in a battery pack that needs 30 mins to charge and you have a lost cause for me. |

The Lucid Air Grand Touring would like a few words with your statement. Over 1000hp and over 400 miles of range. Tech is there, it is the cost of said tech that is holding it back.

However it's a claimed over 400 miles but so far no one has proven...gotten close at the normal 70-75mph driving speed. The image below is of a lesser version but only way to get that range was 63mph... I agree tech...cost, weight and size of battery. Tech isn't there yet. Personally I am content with 300 miles BUT what I NEED is charging and the ability to fill it up within the same amount of time it takes me to piss, wash my hands and grab a snack |

Having less then 300 miles of total range at this price point is not ideal Hopefully BMW will up their game in very short order

They most likely have another car and or a best of the best home charging and just plug in daily overnight so it's always at 80%. Very few high power cars above 500hp have range of 400+ miles... Absent pickups/suvs with a 30+ gallon tank. |

My problem is with this unrefined tech that gets improved almost daily. You buy/lease something and in a couple of months it's old story! With ICEs, you have options to modify them to keep the power current at least.
