Shame. I hope upgrade is possible later on.
I'm slightly confused that even though i8 has been under development since 2008 or so, we still don't have all equipment available right from the start of production. Pulling out "A-" cars without laserlights and display key following "full A" cars just few months later is a small downside. I understand that BMW had a clear plan during the years
2009 VED
2011 i8 concept
2013 i8 production
and they kept that pace, but rolling out i8 at IAA 2013 pushed the start of the production too tight in order to avoid long delay between market launch. So all the equipment were not ready for production in this schedule?
Anyway, the whole car is so revolutionary and fabulous that the lack of small add-ons doesn't change the game, but I'm thinking this question from general point of view.
