Reading through the various blogs and facebook it really sounds like BMW has stubbed their toe in a number of key areas in the US;
1 - no sunroof
2 - fully loaded only for 3 months (and only one interior color)
3 - incredibly weak sales staff knowledge
4 - dismal residuals leading to ridiculous lease payments published on multiple sites
5 - not passing along the full $7,500 federal rebate (for whatever reason) which every other electric car producer has done.
All of that said, it's a fun car to drive, interior is fantastic and it checks all the boxes for recycling and such.
So the question is this, after the initial hype, how do you think it will sell in 2015?
Will it be sold out, with waiting lists? Or will it be $3k off sticker with a subsidized lease w/zero money factor to move 'em?
