Yeah only time will tell, but at the i8 events I attended where the BMW people, including Jacob Harb (BMW i Brand Manager) were talking, they were making the comparison to the Z8 in terms of what this car's future may look like, as far as exclusivity and desirability. To me resale goes with that.

I also believe that the car enthusiasts of today and the car enthusiasts of 10-20 years from now will be a different crowd. There will be more cars like the i8 and it will be known as the first of its kind.

Then there's guys that even today can appreciate it for what it is. I still love hypercars and if I could afford a Pagani Huayra one day I sure as hell would buy one. And an original M Coupe. Along with a V12 Ferrari. And in my dream garage, the i8 would be next to those cars
