i8 Spotted in the wilds of Los Angeles

     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Spotted this baby coming out of Port Hueneme (BMW offloading facility north of LA).

Looks absolutely great in person. Noise was a bit odd -- three cyl diesel apparently.

Nice find!

I'm surprised they are still wearing camo after the official reveal.

My guess is that they will keep the camo in the States until the official North American debut, which occurs at the L.A. Auto Show in late November.

BTW, love to see these on-road sightings while waiting for them to be available to order.

Three cylinder gasoline engine. Sound reminds me of a air-cooled 911 engine.
