If you are interested in Cruise Control and other similar features on the I3/I8, you can read more info from the OEM which provides those systems to BMW:

That would suck if the i3 has it and the i8 does not. |

Hopefully there will be updated info sometime in the coming months. All of the info that's been released is from September of last year, with nothing new trickling out. I wish I had thought of asking these questions when I went to the i8 events back in December, I would have asked them. |

Unsure if this can be fully trusted, but if you look at the first image on the top cycle (driver assistance), the third icon in the menu on the left is the one used for blind spot detection in other models.

Nothing had apparently changed since the brochure that had on the UK website and pulled earlier this year. (attached)

I'm going to see the car at a SoCal dealer sneak peek this weekend, so will ask again about the display key. It was strongly hinted to me by the BMWNA rep at Bimmerfest that the display key is coming, at least in the US. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Yes I did. Not surprisingly, the dealer I spoke to didn't have a clue about the display key. She spoke to her general manager who pulled up an internet photo of it, but it was the same one we've seen before and no other info was offered. However, from my conversation with the BMWNA rep at Bimmerfest, I'm pretty convinced it will be provided when cars are delivered to customers.
Regarding the sneak peek, there were no test drives but I did get to sit in and examine the car to my heart's content. I was particularly interested in how it is to get in and out of the car, which I knew was tricky, but it was interesting to actually experience it with the car. Access won't be very popular with the wife, but then she's not the primary driver. Also got to try out the Harman Kardon sound system, which sounded great. And I tried the rear seats to see how well they would accommodate my two young sons. They'll be fine for at least a couple more years, but I'm 5'8" and my head was just hitting the headliner. All in all, I came away more convinced than ever just how fantastic the car will be, and that was without even driving it. Ordering time can't come soon enough. |

Sounds like a similar 'event' / opportunity to the one I had back in April at BMW UK's Head Quarters. We too were able to get up close and personal, sit in it (back seats as well as front), look at the boot, play with the infotainment system, ask staff about it (although TBH, they weren't able to tell me anything about the car that I didn't already know from researching online etc).
I too became even more excited after seeing it for real and being able to sit in it etc. Can't wait until the dealership launch events (mid July) and the subsequent customer test drives T |
