BMW Considering All Electric 3 Series, X4, And Mini For Production

If only half the reports coming out of Germany about BMW in the past few months are true, the automaker’s electric vehicle strategy is a real issue dividing the company’s top management. In April,  several BMW executives in the automaker’s electric vehicle leadership, also known as the BMW ‘i’ brand, left the German automaker to join a newly formed Chinese EV startup.

The automaker has since reportedly put its EV plans on the “back burner”, but now it’s ready to try to reinvest in fully electric vehicles. Media reports coming from Germany suggest that the board will vote by the end of the month on greenlighting all-electric 3 Series, X4 and Mini for production.

The BMW Concept Compact Sedan (Chinese Auto Show 1-Series) and X3 make more volume sense. The X4 does not.

Hopefully the goofy-as-hell-looking i3 WILL NOT influence the design these electrics.
