I have been a bit disappointed with BMW as of lately for screwing up the 5 series first and then the 3 series. Then offering a watered down, over priced 4 series.

Only hope left is if M4/M3 will redeem the brand some how.

However, with i8 I like the concept and it looks good. I like it because it is innovative and futuristic. Yet, the looks from front end has a bit of what reminds you of classic BMW looks.

My main complaints are that it is over priced. It would be far greater success for under $100K then near $125K. Second, the tires are way too skinny for 20 inch. Third, the range should have been a bit more.

I am hoping that we will get an i8 M with M4 engine paried up with the electric batteries to the tune of 575 hp with proper performance tires.
