Good it at least doesn't embarrass itself on paper against a 911. Most owners of either will never get close to the handling limits and the low grip of the i8 might even make it more fun for the average schlub

Very fast for legal driving limits though... If you accelerate 60-130 in the UK I'd expect to be in court pretty quickly too!
This is not exactly a track car either.
As much as the 3 pot 1.5 sounds off putting, IMO BMW have put a blinding package together. Puts my efficient dynamics in the shadows and out of the other side both in efficiency and performance. What more could you want from a DD?
