Also, the capacity of the battery has more than doubled. The fact that the electric range has not doubled, is due to the recent more realistic published values. However, the new battery probably weighs a bit more and
the reinforcements because of the missing roof probably even more. Anyway, the kerb weight has increased by 160 kg, BMW reports just 60 kg for the roadster form.
The only increased by 8,000 euros base price is surprisingly moderate. Particularly unusual are the sliding doors taken over from the coupé to the roadster. The luggage compartment at the rear shows losses, but the
press release points to an additional 100 liters behind the seats. The weekend for two seems to be saved.
However, the exciting shape has hurt the cW-value by two points. Anyway the difference to the coupe in the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is marginal, with 4.6 to 4.4 seconds, what is still impressive.
The length of the list of options, which now includes 20-inch wheels, slowly tries to reach the one of the conventional types. 11/17
