I think this will hinge on regulatory considerations (i.e. mandates to phase out fossil fuels within a certain time period). While I think the mass adoption of battery powered vehicles is inevitable, I think the demand for the intangibles (e.g. engine note etc) of gas powered vehicles will remain for some time. With that said, BMW will have to up their EV game because it seems they are behind in that race.
