BMW already makes one...the 545e. They just don't sell it in the USA. |
I'm thinking BMW may position the 550e as a sportier model, more so prioritizing performance rather than range since the 545e will also make it to the next generation (although unlikely in America) and the V8 is likely dead outside of M, also would be a bit repetitive to have 3 different plug in hybrid models, two with the same engines. Although surprised it isn't being called an M-Performance model so that may ruin my theory, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
