How about the i8 gets an S55 edition

bigshout · 02-02-2017, 10:53 AM

Not feeling those colours

Fabs///M · 02-02-2017, 10:54 AM

I like it

MalibuBimmer · 02-02-2017, 11:12 AM

Black is nice. Yellow is taxicab-ish.

Boben5 · 02-02-2017, 12:17 PM

Only thing that's going to help it is a new design

Ehh, no need for a new design. the only thing it needs is a new read end because it feels like the designers gave up when they reached the rear end. Other than that it's beautiful.

GOLFFRR · 02-02-2017, 12:41 PM

sharp!

Docray1 · 02-02-2017, 12:42 PM

I wonder if BMW USA plans to delete the special seat and floor mat changes on these Special Editions like they did on the red one?? I still have yet to get an explanation for why they did that. But it probably partly explains why so many of the Protonic Red ones are still for sale everywhere...

Would love to see a frozen Singapore grey.

I'll take one of the Frozen Black please!

+1 on Singapore grey. Very curious to see the frozen black in person. The photos are so processed - makes it hard to fully appreciate what it will really look like.

3s-a-charm · 02-02-2017, 06:01 PM

I'll take an all-electric version that does 0-60 faster than a Tesla please.

raysspl · 02-02-2017, 06:20 PM

Red or red-orange needs to be a standard color by now...

Then it wouldn't be an i8.... Please read and familiarize yourself with the car.

MFNATIK · 02-02-2017, 08:21 PM

Wow, BMW going to offer colors to their palette as special editions? They really think this will boost sales? These aren't even good or really desirable colors. How about a i8S or i8CSi or something with a higher output motor and/or battery cell.

phoenixbmwlife · 02-02-2017, 08:25 PM

I like the frozen black. The yellow not so much on this car.

DCG · 02-02-2017, 11:16 PM

I requested BMW to make a Frozen Black version and they did, it looks awesome

no wallpaper I mean plastic wrap for me. Hopefully they will offer it in the other frozen colors. The yellow looks like a cheap Corvette.

ron_jeremy · 02-03-2017, 12:00 AM

The i8 is a great marketing showcar for the i brand, more colours is fine.
But the rumors about the smaller sibling, the i3 - keeps going on about a sportier version.
One would think/hope, if the i3 get's a power bump, so should the flagship - the i8.
Having said that, i happen to love yellow, so i have a new screensaver now, it's a start.

They can at least upgrade the batteries and deliver higher output and sell it as an accessory to increase range like they did ok the i3

JasH · 02-04-2017, 02:38 PM

The black is a bit meh, but the yellow is lovely.
