BMW i8 in Midtown Miami Public Appearance
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com BMW i8 at Midtown Miami Foutain Plaza by ddk632, on Flickr This is the last of my i8 threads for a while, sadly. Unless I catch one driving around down here, of course This was pretty much a public event. Thanks to a fellow Bimmerpost member whom I met at the SLS event for letting me know about the event! BMW i Brand Manager gave a quick talk about the i8 specs and details to a public applause, and then answered questions. BMW i Brand Manager Presents the BMW i8 by ddk632, on Flickr Each time I've seen the i8, there were less and less barriers between myself and the i8. In LA, it was completely closed off behind glass. At the SLS, there was only glass on the sides. Here in Midtown Miami Shops, there was no barrier at all except for some BMW / Octagon people ensuring that nobody sat in the car. BMW i8 at Midtown Miami by ddk632, on Flickr I got some nice detail shots of the i8 at night and my favorite shots of the rear LED tail lights are at the bottom of this thread.

This Crystal White i8 will be on display at CES in Las Vegas in January 2014, a fitting place for it as it's a technology conference (Consumer Electronics Show). I will not be there, though, but if you will, make sure to see the i8! |

Great looking car. BMWNA should have bought the 'box signage' behind he car for the night.
The Five Guys burger sign takes away from the class of the vehicle. Crisp white, with a tasteful BMW propeller would have completed the spot marketing/promo event, IMO. |

It was during Art Basel, on the Friday night (Dec 6th).
I only found out about it by chance at the previous event, from a fellow Bimmerpost member no less. |

Btw, the i8 will be at similar BMW events during Art Basel next year, possibly with some test drives. As soon as I know anything I'll make a thread on it.

Yeah, the i8 interior reminds me of the F12/F13 6 series interior and appears even more driver focused. The 6 series interior has been my favorite BMW interior, so the fact that the i8 emulates and builds on it, is a good thing.

Definitely agree. The 6 series' interior and this one is the best BMW has to offer. They're amazing.
