New i8 Arriving On Friday
Okay, it looks like I'm about to join the ranks of i8 owners. I got a pull-ahead offer from BMW on my 2014 M6 Coupe and will be taking on a blue 2016 i8 (Tera World).
Gonna hate to lose my M6, but the i8 is stunning looking. I'll trade a bit of performance (and terrific sound, since I had the RPi GTM exhaust) for overall satisfaction. Looking forward to it! |

Great to hear! I test drove the i8 a couple of months ago and honestly, didn't expect too much. I was shocked at what I discovered. The stats don't tell the whole story at all!

Congrats. The i8 is something special. True it's not an M6 from a performance perspective but you find yourself being interested in other things like using no gas and just chillin out. Kinda cathartic lol.
