I think from a purely objective perspective, the shared platform would be fine. I just don't think "fine" puts BMW in the best market position. I even think there's a chance that EV versions of the car turn out to be really good. The problem will be in market perception. With a platform shared with ICE automobiles, they'll face an uphill perception battle.
