EV's can still look great and very "ICE" like as the Mustang Mach-E, Model S, and Porsche Taycan have shown us.

I'm not suggesting that EV's look "ugly". I quite like the iPace, eTron, and Taycan and think the VW ID.4 is really attractive. But, I don't like the jellybean looks of the Model Y. I even bought one of the first i3 models. My point was that the EV's DO look "different" and that was a plus for early adopters, but unknown what effect it will have on mainstream buyers in the near term, which is BMW's window for selling it's ICE-adapted platforms. In the long term, better get used to it because that's where we are headed. I'll have a very nice fully-loaded, low mileage BMW 530e to sell to the "lost causers".
