Leicester City players each awarded an i8
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Article with some player and BMW quotes from the Leicester Mercury newspaper Dude spent about $2 million for 19 i8s, all in the same blue color (matches LCFC's home kit) -- and the four players who've left the team since winning the Premiership aren't getting one (which is only fair since they all received, um, raises for moving on.) Also: BMW apparently didn't contribute at all. Makes you wonder if it was the only hybrid supercar the owner could find sufficient stock of (i.e., they haven't sold) Makes you wonder what either of the Manchester clubs would do to top this ... give 'em all 918s?

Very cool. 918s would have been better. Slightly more expensive though.

I think now that the initial excitement is over there are more and more of these cars in inventory. Seems like every dealer I go to has 1 if not 2 on the lot. It's an awesome car and incredible technology but a lot of coin.

Very cool, this is no doubt on top of their bonuses! Visiting family here an saw 3 at the local dealer... No blue though... These 2 in the photo and a Mineral Grey! These will fit into a Premier League car park better than an M4/6.... With Lambo's and Aston's! Just another toy for the garage!

Kante was more instrumental in their title run to at least deserve an honorary i8! Still a nice gesture from the owner. I doubt my penny-pinching club chasing 4th place finishes would do something like this.
Would like to own an i8 myself only the price can come down some

Whoever makes this job has the finest taste on the cars . I am not intended to bash M Cars but none of them looks as classy and head turner as BMW i8

Ever seen a model with a short skirt getting out of an i8? Well played Leicester.
