I think there are two kinds of i8 owners: some do get it and discuss the price, but some of us really appreciate it for what it is. It's hard to describe, I hope you get a chance to drive one, it really is different than most cars. And none if that is because of its price. I would say it's the first "software defined car" or "video game car." It's a shame because of its steep price a lot if younger people won't get to experience it first hand. In some ways they will "get it" more than some "geezers." |

Ah a successful 22 years old M3 wannabe hanging with geezers. We're flattered and I'm sure you didn't offend anyone, you're just providing entertainment for us. None of us need to justify our purchases but jeez louis, please upgrade to the M3. I had an E46 and loved it.

... And now an X5? True car expert here. Thinks getting a SuburbiaUV equals growing out of teenager hot hatches. Y'all listen up, i8 owners, you've been had and Qbix The Wise has discovered it.

Sounds like someone who's been equally gullible to the "sports utility" BS. Or did your wife just make you buy it? |

You're dead wrong - This is not the case the battery can last for many laps also be advised in Sport mode its putting the energy back in the battery any time you're off full throttle.

When I told them, and even sent them a screenshot, they said it was only my app/iPhone that was doing it. Their own i8 cars were showing up as i8 on the app. They even showed me a screenshot. Not everyone is affected. |

I've reported that i3 glitch and also that my i App crashes every freaking day and I have to re-sign in. Every freaking day.
BMW i Concierge doesn't care.

And don't forget the random switching to metric from English units.

I took my i8 on a couple of hotlaps with 1mile left to go on the charge, and it was almost full charge when I was done.
