Of course you did. And I'm certain he was authorized to bind BMW to the terms he orally discussed with you. But I was asking Scott 26, not you. I know where you stand on this.

For me personally it made a nice improvement because I wanted the car to perform better on B-roads and during spirited driving and that was hugely improved after fitting the wider Michelins.
I never bought the car for the fuel economy and I'm not complaining, 14l/100km is still very.... very impressive since there were countless times I had to brake, go back to 130 and full throttle to 220+ again.

I'm not sure what customer put a lot of aftermarket stuff on his i8 since I haven't seen too many customized i8s yet.
The worst things I've seen are 22" wheels with a terrible offset on a lowered i8, well yes then you are asking for it......

Fuel economy in America what's the point as your petrol is so cheap. I would be running around in a nice sounding V8 if I was living there as I usually end up in a Mustang while I'm visiting. Enjoy your petrol engines while the rest of the world has to make do with expensive petrol.

My E46 M3 can easily do 1,30 at the same conditions....
I thought the i8 could save me some gas money, but obviously it´s the opposite...

Parked outside my office is my i8 and an office neighbours new M4.

We compared notes and since my i8 is giving me 48.1 miles per gallon compared to his 36, I think it's clear that the i8 is significantly cheaper to run than an M car.

I'd also say that it ALL depends on how you drive a car, so your comment's a little bit on the snide side, don't you think? I could drive my car in sport mode the whole time and race everywhere, not keeping it charged and get around 12mpg.

So, the comments are a little negative no?
