It could have been worse, they could have made it $135k base with $40k in available options.

Also, it makes it WAAAAAY easier to find a second-hand car when they all come the same. Before I bought a CLK63 Black Series in 2010, the search variables consisted of condition, mileage, and color. No looking for one with the "sport suspension", "upgraded stereo", or "limited-slip" just "what color?"

I'm looking forward to the i8 as a tech statement from BMW in addition to everything else. They're basically saying "here's everything we know that's commercially viable thrown into one car." The latest materials, the latest drivetrain tech, the latest user interface systems, etc.

It looks like the future. It's the first hybrid I would actually drive. And it doesn't cost a million dollars like the P1, 918, and LaFerrari. Done deal for me.
+1 I think it is a bargain supercar; may not be as quick as 458 (or 918) on track, but bet just as much fun to drive and own. Too bad I was so late on the wait list...
