Pues me parece una cagada. No le veo sentido.
La pierden todos los gasolina, cosas del branding: empiezan con este y el nuevo X3, pero alcanzará a todos...

Which other products aside from the next-generation X3 (G45) will lose the “i”? We reckon the 1 Series hatchback and
2 Series Gran Coupe are up next. Both compact cars will be renewed before the end of 2024. It’s not just next-gen cars that’ll drop the letter as we’re hearing facelifted models will follow suit. Rumor has it the
7 Series LCI will do away with the “i” for its mid-cycle update in 2026.
The disclosure was made by Bernd Körber, Senior Vice President BMW Brand and Product Management, Connected Company.
BMWBLOG asked why the “i” is being deleted in the context of the forthcoming
X3 M50, which will replace the outgoing M40i:
“Historically, even though our interpretation of BMW i was always different, it’s more innovation, not necessarily only electric, and we historically had injection at the end [of the badge], we said, we would like to keep ‘i’ as an asset, and we would like to keep it as a signature to indicate you’re driving an electric car and that was the logic that we had.”
