The thing is that even people who are say in their early 60s now were in their late 30s during the dot com boom. The internet was a thing, technology was a thing, etc. so older clientele should be more well versed in tech than prior generations. A lot of people work in tech/software now too, so the modern consumer prioritizes that 1st when shopping for a car (much to the chagrin of us enthusiasts).

Plus this car is going to be priced right in line with the Model S and Lucid Air, both of which seem to have a younger buying demographic than what this segment attracts traditionally. BMW has to entice those customers. One of my more senior colleagues is in his mid 50s and drives a 530e, but has a Lucid Air on order.
