Nothing to do with 1ers

But just stopped at my local dealer to pick up a part. And there were 2 i8s sitting in front of the dealership for sale.
I asked the parts guys if they were unsold, they said yup.
Thought those things were sold out for years.
Gorgeous cars though.

I saw three i8's on the used BMW lot when I picked up my 1. Sales guy said old rich guys buy them to impress young girls, then trade them in a few months later because a small electric car doesn't work for them.

Beautiful vehicle though!

Never thought they looked good in pictures until I saw one in person. Nice looking cars.

Funny story, I was standing in line like a tool for a club in LA one night when a white i8 pulled up and parked in VIP, Asian dude with his gf hop out and go right in. 5 minutes later, another white i8 pulls into the lot blasting music with some wannabe rapper driving it. He had his window down, saw the other i8 and yelled "Aw fuck this!" Backed up and peeled out down the block.

Cool story bro

Saw one in person at my local dealer and think it's a good looking car, but I'm a petrolhead and really have no interest in hybrids or electric cars... just yet.

Got a chance to sit in one at my local dealership the other day. It's a nice car for sure, but the car I found most captivating there was the M6

Garage List
I have 2 friends that have them. Both love them but they are not for everybody. 1 owns the 1st or second i8 in the states and is well connected in BMW and Lambo circles and the other leased 2mo ago coming off an X5 M lease.

I've said it before and still hold the opinion someday these will be the segue to the future of cars or a museum piece.

Jeremy Clarkson prefers the i8 over the M3
