I was in between when i was choosing a car it was the I3s or the Model 3, now the most obvious choice was to go with the Model 3 due to literately everything. But i just didn't dare to go with a first generation Model 3 due to some quality thoughts i had when reading the Tesla forums. And living in Sweden and not the west coast of US i had my thoughts regarding the cars build quality in terms of how it would handle the road salt, grime and dirt during the winter here.
While BMW has been making cars for the EU market for a long time and i believed that BMWs cars were more adapted to the Swedish climate then Tesla. And i have seen some weird issues with Models 3 in Sweden caused by the winters here everything from freezing door handles to rust on brand new cars. So my initial thoughts were correct of the Model 3 but i just can't have a car that performs well during Spring-Autum then having to have it in the Garage i need a year round car.

BMW should never have started on these FWD platforms. If the FWD platforms would be immediately killed and replaced with EVs on dedicated platforms, they could actually be fun then with good torque and low center of gravity. My concern with BMW is this dual-purpose architecture. It seems like it's going to compromise both the ICE version and EV versions of the cars. I think BMW *could* build a great EV, but they seem to not want to.
