Can I just add that maybe this car isnt made to compete.
Maybe its their vision for when petrol runs out - maybe they arent trying to make a hybrid seller for decades. Maybe they are saying " petrol is gonna run out, so lets design a platform for us to push new technologies and ideas. Lets put it into a package that exudes what BMW stands for. Yes we will make mistake, but hopefully in the future we shall be at the forfront of the electric race" Or they could just be trying to copy tesla and Prisuses. I for one dont think electrical cars are the future, I think hydrogen needs to be used. However there needs to be big pushes in changing peoples view point. We are so used to gas, we need products like this to tempt us into different fields. Also I agree that there should be proper angel lights (ala concept) and please show me more of the laser light stuff - this is all I could find - seems it would be illegal in a lot of countries! Also you know there is gonna be a Spyder version - and I think that will fix the ugly back on this car (hmm where would u put the roof? - no more passengers in the bacl).

Car looks sexy, however far from being a beauty and a beast. Not thrilled about the performance with that price tag, but then again not everyone is about performance.

In the US where gas is still relatively cheap, I don't see the point in this car. There are much better performing cars for the money. You either need to be a true tree hugger or just want it for just some status symbol.
I could see this working much better in other countries. |

Great design! I like the final version and I didn't expect it to look this way!

none because if you want to buy a sport car for that price you buy a Porsche, if you want good mileage you don't search for a sport car that costs 136k and 4 adults on a coupe is a thing not needed.

Stunning in black. Do people ve to sit through a power point presentation on how to use prior to purchase? It's gonna find its market that's for sure.
How about this body fitted with a NA M division engine?

The Spyder version is coming to the i8 . Once again the same nonsense, V8 , V10 Supercar blah , blah . The i8 will not crossover to BMW M. Its genes will benefit BMW M. We have proven we do not need a Supercar at this time and the new M4 will further that statement. In a world where our competitors are electrifying existing concepts BMW have proved to be more innovative and more creative in their choices. I have watched some of our competitors completely scrutinise both the i3 and i8 this afternoon and they are concerned , really concerned. One abandoned this idea in favour of an electrified current sports car that will not make production and both are quite distant from the benefits of mass volume CFRP in a volume production model. In 2 years time the all new BMW 7er which heralds an all new aluminium,CFRP mix architecture , CFRP body panels and high tech driver and passenger HUDs using the latest ConnectedDrive innovations will be the most technically advanced production BMW ever. Today is more than a special day , its a day that BMWs leadership has effectively transformed the perspective of mobility. Today everybody shows where the market is at . BMW want to show you where it's going...

Great perspective, Scott, thanks.
Love the car drooling over all the photos. Looks great. My only nit pick would be as a few others mentioned the angel eyes of the concept were cool as hell. But still, I love this car. It absolutely can be a daily driver, I think that's the whole point of it. I would daily the crap out of this car. |

What do the things in bold have to do with better performing cars for less money. There is a list of cars I would personally would rather have. Oh and 4 adults, that would be a squeeze at best. This car makes more sense in other countries where there are tighter regulations. In the US it is a status symbol.
