Yeah was watching, just saw that. Unbelievable !!!

This will make it easier for all of the dealers asking $100k over MSRP for the i8 to get those prices.

It's a beautiful car.

Don't you wish you had ordered two of them, now?

Maybe then I would have gotten the interior I wanted.

At least a 50/50 chance. No luck on the possible swap over on the other forum? I'm rooting for you man.

No luck so far, but at this point, I don't really care. I'm sure I'll be thrilled with the PI, and as it's going to only be available for the first 2 years (or 1-1/2 considering the MY14 production shortages), it will probably retain its value better. Have to say the auction really stoked my anticipation even more. Car should be here before the end of September.

750K!

Just imagine what they could have got for the car if they had mentioned the display key, the fact that the car is sold out for almost a year, and the LV luggage that comes with this special edition.

I am very excited the car fetched so much, but I wish the BMW NA Prez had said more about the uniqueness of the vehicle.

Good way of looking at it.

Yeah, I will be interested to see press about the auction and what is said. Definitely on a personal level I feel that this has raised the i8 credibility and stature up a few notches.

I mean, suddenly, $250k doesn't seem all that bad!
