Our club has an i8 as a fleet car. I've been in/out a couple of times. I see lots of hours in an enclosed garage working on my technique. The Internet doesn't need another video of a fat guy getting out of an i8...

Maybe the Roadster will be a little easier. Wish me luck!

Bet UK configurator is imminent, as the Finance deals are already up!

0% and £10K deposit contribution for the coupe; 5.9% and zilch for the roadster.

Residuals truly shocking for both - with the new coupe a few K's less than BMW was showing for the old model only last month
