That may be the plan but I have my doubts as to whether or not it will really be retired as soon as people think. But I agree there’s not much logic to spending a lot of resources upgrading it.

Do you have your doubts as to whether or not BMW executives are telling the truth?

I’m certainly not calling your honesty or theirs into question.

I don’t expect a reversal really. Just a pause at some point, of sorts. Longer transition than planned. That’s why I said I agreed it wouldn’t make sense to spend resources improving ICE engines. I don’t see any reversal.
And hey, I’ve been wrong before! So I can easily be wrong now!

2024 is near. But to me, there are still 11 years left to enjoy with a combustion engine, at least here in EU. I know that by 2030 a combustion engine will be rare as a colored diamond, but...it's not the end 'till the end.

The car manufacturers in EU are already negotiating an extension of the 2030 rule and they are poking holes in it. While the EU regulators seem to be unwavering at this time on ICE ban, the current EU parliament has 2 full election cycles away from 2030. A lot can happen.
Having said that, even if an extension can be granted, I don't think EU car makers will use the time to build a new engine or create new variants. All BMW has to do is add boost and that can be done with software. |

2030 is a long way off for the people making policy. Problems aren’t problems for them until it’s on the doorstep. The only reasons they ever take proactive approaches to policy are for headlines, goodwill, and ultimately votes and dollars. Which is where the 2030 policy and similar policies have come from.

I don’t know if the US has a federal deadline. California does. They’ll back off it, too.
