Looked over all the photos again and my main "gripe" really is the rear center console carpet and cupholder. I have a BMW already so I think the headliner is the same as I have in my X6M. Can live with that.

I do understand that BMW probably doesn't expect a ton of people using those rear seats, though, so they didn't go crazy back there.

So, it's down to the cupholder
Whoever thought the purchase of an i8 hinged on a cup holder! LOL.

Agreed, they didn't go all-out in the back of the i8, but it's not too bad TBH.
I've spec'd the 'Carpo Dark' Amido Black interior, so I was worried it might be a bit 'claustrophobic' in the back for rear passengers. But it's not dark & dingy as I was worried it might be. I guess the close proximity of the rear glass screen and rear window help to let more light in the back.

As for the soft rubber finish of the buttons in the MC, they have the same buttons & switches on the standard GranTurismo and GranCabrio TBH. So you don't have to try and hunt down a rare MC to have a feel of them! Te he.

You see, the headlining is the same as in the X6 etc. i.e. dreadful! ha ha
