It will be interesting to see whether carbon reinforced plastic on an aluminum frame or aluminum unibody is the future of car bodies. While Tesla and BMW use new technologies in their bodies for electric cars, the same question applies to all cars.
Aluminum bodies can be done in volume like steel. Both will be complicated to repair in case of heavy damage, but replacing plastic panels is probably easier.
Another interesting thing about the BMW is whether their motorcycle experience means they can deliver an inexpensive, light, and durable range extender generator engine.
