This was my thought as well. This platform is aimed by 2025 at the earliest (if they stay on time). It doesn't really seem like a future proof plan if developments for EV platforms and efficiency are made. And apparently this platform will also underpin RWD and FWD BMW's while prioritizing EV design and packaging. Personally I think it sounds like a compromised product on both ends of the spectrum for ICE and EV. I think if they had a platform focused for EV's, and continued with another platform for ICE, each type of vehicle would benefit more. This sounds more like a sub-optimal solution, more of a band-aid rather than a proper solution.
