Whats with the Worlds??

BavarianSTL · 12-16-2014, 05:21 PM

Am in the middle of ordering the I8 I put money down on exactly 2 years ago!
January Build...February delivery (I hope). Can't hardly wait!
I want a Grey car with light grey interior but from what I can discern from the dealer & online info, the Mega world may be a standard base car with skinny tires & wheels & no LED headlights. The Giga World is white or black interior. The Terra World is brown interior only. The Pure Impulse is 10K for real nice leather & I'm not sure what else.
While the dealer is investigating I thought some of you may have gone through this and have some tips.
Very confusing ordering for so few choices.
Thanks for any input.

FWIW, you can't order a i8 with anything but Tera or Pure Impulse at the moment and might not be able to order anything else until well past the end of 2015. I would be willing to bet they will never make a base Mega car but the wider "sport" tires and LED headlights (along with all the other "options" in other countries) are standard, no matter what on US-spec i8 trim you pick. Pure impulse comes with aluminum door sills, specials mats, "i8" embossed in the headrest, leather engine cover, ceramic gear lever, full grey leather, anthracite headliner, etc.

Personally I would have gone Giga with Black interior...but I was told I would be waiting to 2016.

I have the Tera. Because I buy so many Bimmers, my dealer promised me the first one. But BMW has forced my dealer to take 3 out of the first 4 as "Pure Impulse" (a name almost as stupid as "comfort access" -- which the U.S. cars don't have). And the first one was PI so I waited and got Tera. It's OK, not great, but the full leather in PI isn't worth an additional $7K in my view.

Carac, You are right. Just heard from NA that Mega no longer exists. Cant order Grey interior except for Impulse. So my order has changed to Grey with Grey trim and the Brown Terra interior.
Also....I'm now a March build '15 model which means April/May delivery.

Also.......Anybody want a 07 Noble M400?? Got to sell (maybe) to justify this expense. I'm no longer as fast & furious as it is anyway.
