It's meant to compete with model 3, so I guess they will arrive at the party about the same time

They are talking about the regular three series, not the I3.
Well, maybe so, but a "90 kWh" battery is smack in the middle of Model S territory. I imagine the 3 will have more like a 70. So, it's 3 series with a big battery. Who knew?
And as long as they aren't taking sales away from Tesla, is it competition? And when the supposed competition is simply following where Tesla has been for many years, is that competition? And if the competition has no charging infrastructure to speak of, and no plans evident for reducing battery costs ....
One thing that BMW excels in is advertising. This will make more people aware of electric vehicles at a time when global warming is heating up and fossil fuels are winding down. If they mention they are competing with Tesla, well, hey, what a deal.
