Fuckin LOL - I don't know if me falling for that says more about me or about BMW 
I had a look at the Electric Everything (formerly Fully Charged) vid about it, and if you believe the BMW marketing it is actually quite interesting, in terms of the design, efficiency and sustainability; the car build is something like 13 tons of CO2 (partiallly due to reusing already mined cobalt and the like) ; Polestar, the previous kings of sustainability, list their most efficient (At build) car as 20 tons, so that's pretty impressive.
They also claim very advanced chassis control and ADAS stuff that's easier to live with (IE it can tell when you should be trying to stay in lane, and when it shouldn't get in the way because you're trying to pass a parked car) and other generally interesting progressions to the state of the art.
It'll be interesting to see how that pans out in road tests.
