Noooooo the wing is just to much, It's now got a double wing. Less is more In this situation. It just brings the car down to kid tuner level.

Color looks fine but purple is kind of dated somewhat nowadays. But that's just my opinion.

The wing however is just plain tacky and that's a fact!

Sorry but it's true!

Nowadays wings are integrated into the design, even HyperCars have integrated wings that only pop out and become crazy when needed.

These style of wings are super dated and screams cheap tuner in my opinion especially on a car as advanced as this one.

Like it a lot, but not my favorite i8 color so far. Thanks for sharing though!

goj · 09-23-2016, 12:12 PM

Damn! Now replace that 3-pot with the S63

Don't knock it till you tried it ?. You gotta see it in stereo. Jokes aside, it looks great in real life. It is subjective, sure, but everyone that sees it is blown away. We've done some pretty unbelievable colors to date. Check our Facebook page - @BMWADM

SMB is awsome!

My next car will be still SMB!

Now your talking!
I was at the dealer last week looking at a red one, wishing they had one in Violet.
That's my fav color of all time!

Do you have any more pics of this one?

Is Individual actually available for the i8?

You can order a range of special colours from BMW here in the UK.

My dealer had the purple one in at the beginning of Sept - see: https://www.facebook.com/sytnerbmwi/...type=3&theater

and the Orange in August:

Not knocking it just the wing.

Damn, this is truly bad assed! I just got off the phone and placed my order! It cost me an arm and a leg but what's $$$ for if not to spend it right? I wanted something NO one else in the whole world would have so when I drove down the street, everyone would notice and be jealous. I mean we hear a lot about 1 of 500 or 1 of 100 but I need 1 of 1! I just ordered my new ride in mercury silver! Yes it's exclusive and will have real Mercury impregnated in the paint. The extra $100,000 it cost me was to cover the Hazmat team in disposing of the leftovers, but it'll be worth every dime once completed! Imagine being the only one in the world with real Mercury in the paint! True one of a kind and bad assed...

Making the car a single color really makes it look better in my opinion. Love the work.

Wow, yes best-looking i8 I've seen so far!

WheelsBoutique · 09-26-2016, 03:22 PM

Are we against all wings on this car or will a baby duck-like wing pass?

Not at all, I have a full custom one going on the car next week.. The Vorstenier duck/wing is not my cup of tea

See below a teaser...

Daftasabrush · 09-28-2016, 12:52 PM

According to the VIN, it's not SMB, it's Protonic Blue, I wonder if it's a wrap?
