This is the last of my i8 threads for a while, sadly. Unless I catch one driving around down here, of course

This was pretty much a public event. Thanks to a fellow Bimmerpost member whom I met at the SLS event for letting me know about the event!

BMW i Brand Manager gave a quick talk about the i8 specs and details to a public applause, and then answered questions.

Each time I've seen the i8, there were less and less barriers between myself and the i8. In LA, it was completely closed off behind glass. At the SLS, there was only glass on the sides. Here in Midtown Miami Shops, there was no barrier at all except for some BMW / Octagon people ensuring that nobody sat in the car.

I got some nice detail shots of the i8 at night and my favorite shots of the rear LED tail lights are at the bottom of this thread.

Probably my favorite shot so far of the taillights:

That's it folks!

This Crystal White i8 will be on display at CES in Las Vegas in January 2014, a fitting place for it as it's a technology conference (Consumer Electronics Show).

I will not be there, though, but if you will, make sure to see the i8!
