More like BMW don't want to continue making a car on a custom carbon tub that presumably makes little margin when they can shovel an ev drivetrain into existing SUV architecture and charge £80k for it.

which was pretty much exactly the case with the audi A2 wasn't it?
car designed to be compact, lightweight, fuel efficient, comfortably carry 5 adults.
the aluminium spaceframe + panels were uneconomical (i.e. not enough profit) to produce and A2 production was short-lived.

No margin in small cars. Stellantis has the market to itself in Europe until the cheap Chinese EVs arrive (MG being the beginning).
