LOL at the "BMW has been building electric cars for 40 years." Really? LOL.

Uh, no they haven't.

And the HQ building, what 4-cylinder engine block has two parallel banks of 2 cylinders. Dual crankshaft design I suppose. Not sure which BMW model that engine was used in. Never got that one.

Next they'll claim they came up with the concept of an all-plastic bodied car on rolling space-frame chassis that was going to bring in a new era of automotive design and manufacturing...

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
