I do...
The car is a waste, when BMW is putting so much into it, but neglecting their core customer? We get it, BMW is #1 now... and they have forgotten what/whom got them there. An i8... before North America gets a BMW hatchback..? An "Active Tourer" that nobody wants..
(We've been told lies)
Because BMW decide that the future is here, so they are going to make hi-posh cars for the German elite..? And invest very little money elsewhere..?
I don't see the i8 as a halo car, I see it as a distraction from BMW making driving machines. Don't care how many Don Johnsons buys an i8, it does very little for the rest of BMW's line-up. People who will buy a Ford Escape, over a BMW Active-Tourer, or who purchase a new Ford Mustang, over a M235i (or even an M4) don't care that BMW wasted years of development on a car they don't want.
How much did the I-series cost BMW to develop? How many will they sell..?
Where is the demand..?
