Why can they do it on a $44,000 i3 but not a $50,000 340i?
So far, EV drivetrains are more expensive to produce than ICE drivetrains. i3 suspension and braking componentry are pretty identical to normal BMWs, i3 electronics are standard BMW parts, i3 wheels are more expensive to produce than BMW's normal wheels.
What's the math that makes the possible on an i3 but not on a 3 series?
