As the owner of a BMW phev I do like it. However, BMW needs to recognize that if it wants to retain the title of the "ultimate driving machine" it has to offer phevs that are performance oriented and not just in the Ms.
For example, if they offered the 250 HP ICE with the 111 HP electric motor and called it a 540e I would have gladly purchased it instead and paid more for it. And if they were nice enough to offer the 6 cylinder ICE with the 111 HP electric motor I would gladly have paid even more.
But if BMW wants to keep its phevs competing only with mainline automakers, it is degrading the marque.
Come on BMW. In the words of Tim the toolman Taylor: "More power".
