Original: The electric BMW i3 turned out to be cheaper than the petrol-powered M350 xDrive
A price comparison involving BMW's line-up has drawn attention after the electric i3 turned out to be cheaper than the petrol-powered M350 xDrive. The reversal of the usual pattern, where electric models carry a premium over combustion equivalents, is being highlighted as a sign of how EV pricing is shifting, and it is prompting debate about the cost balance between electric and petrol cars.
Why now: The unusual price inversion between an electric BMW and a comparable petrol model challenges assumptions that EVs are always more expensive.
