Welcome. Didn't know bmw was doing customs accent colors.

phoenixbmwlife · 08-27-2016, 07:06 PM

Yeah it's interesting for sure. Never seen it done in this way

Nivarox · 08-28-2016, 02:37 AM

Congrats, I have not seen an accent color for i8 . it looks very sharp

Marshallbrew · 08-28-2016, 03:31 AM

It's actually the only one of it's kind with color. I live in Abu Dhabi... anything is possible

Ah that explains it. You all get special privileges that the rest of the world don't get. Hahaha ?

Yep! We recently went back to the US to visit family and friends... a little disappointed. We are used to the life here... mainly the customer service.

///M-Furby · 09-01-2016, 10:28 AM

very nice looking. i lie the accents

dvbimmerk · 09-01-2016, 10:31 AM

Was this a factory option or a dealer installed option?

goj · 09-01-2016, 10:47 AM

Wow congrats! That looks mean

TheBingoBalls · 09-01-2016, 10:53 AM

I call that the 918 treatment.

It doesn't look bad, to be honest.

MSteve5036 · 09-01-2016, 11:41 AM

interior has to go from blue --> green for me. otherwise its just half finished

550Reasons · 09-01-2016, 11:49 AM

I would have also done the seat belts in java green

_thenicoftime · 09-01-2016, 11:49 AM

Not a fan- but cool that BMW did that for you.

CashedUpBogan · 09-01-2016, 11:51 AM

I think it looks really bad and riced up. The green makes it waaay too busy and you lose all the subtlety of the original scheme.

The blue interior as mentioned above, completely clashes with the green now. The most horrible aspect is the green ring around the rear roundel.

You have black and white and green and blue all over the place but not in a balanced way on proportion or tones. Aesthetics is a ratio game. Might have money to custom, but money sure doesn't buy good taste

SCOTT26 · 09-01-2016, 12:07 PM

Just no.

RobbyMack · 09-01-2016, 12:27 PM

I'm lost, where is this "blue" interior some of you speak of? The interior is clearly opal white or some other variation.

OP looks good dude.

PARTS@STBMW · 09-01-2016, 12:48 PM

Looks great!

My thoughts, exactly. But a little lack of color coordination is not uncommon in the Middle East. ;-)

Second picture. The blue interior light that goes on when you press the unlock button?

Sheesh we now have to get down to the details of short lived interior lighting to make everyone happy. Nitpicking much...
