Very nice review, thanks for posting. Nice to see the Euro mag testers got some color choice other than Ionic Silver.

Yes, my favorite i8 color as well.
Have you seen the Stanceworks Protonic Blue i8 photos? They were pretty amazing: http://bmwi.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...ht=Stanceworks |

Here's the accompanying video for this review, some nice footage in there of the Protonic Blue i8 on the move as well as some nice detail shots.

That color is absolutely gorgeous!
I was lucky enough to see one in person, but it was dressed in the Sophisto Gray with Frozen Blue. So it wasn't quite as striking. Here's an interactive walkaround of the i8 I captured, in all its stunning beauty: http://fyu.se/v/i8bmwawsum This is best viewed with the Fyuse iPhone app, but you can get the gist of it in a browser. |

I never saw that "eating/birthing a 911" view before, but now that they mention it, that's exactly what it looks like....

It is the future
Amazing car. I had the pleasure of driving all day in all conditions and agree with all the rave reviews. The styling is out of this world and the reaction in the eyes of people is just overwhelming.
It had a universal appeal where it offended no one and brought a smile onto all who came upon it. Home run BMW. |

Great review. Love the giving birth to a Porsche 911 part.
