It's interesting that so many people want an EV with 300 miles range but rarely use more than 100 miles. Batteries are the single heaviest and most expensive part in an EV. Significantly heavier and costlier than a combustion engine. Saving a bit of money and weight and optimizing by expected range seems to make the most sense.
I think that even if BMW does offer a larger battery option, the 74kwh version is the one that will sell the best. Considering Tesla usually overrates their real world mileage, I bet this would compare favorably to the Model Y standard range model anyway.
