ETA status update from my (UK based) i Dealer:
- Aug-14 1 x order
- Dec-14 1 x order
- Feb-15 2 x orders (one of which is mine - my order ETA slipped from 15-Jan-15 to mid Feb-15)
He confirmed that although they were briefed to set customer's expectations for first UK deliveries to be end of the year (Dec-14 was quoted), they seem to have pulled forward some orders.
Regarding laser lights, the BMW UK website has been updated, and now shows the following, "
A second broad frame is added as a distinguishing design feature when the optional high-beam headlights with laser light technology* are selected.... *Planned availability from the end of 2014."

(Previously it said available from November.)
On a slightly different note, the dealer is organising the test drive event and I'm booked in to test drive the i8 on 19th July
