Overall: Very good and very close to to the concept. I think I like how the tail lights are on this more than the concept. The suspended tail lights of the concept made it look to fragile IMO.

Details that bug me:
-The headlights are incredibly boring. By trying to make BMWi more distinct from other BMW's they have made them more inline with other cars in regard to headlight design.

-I wish BMW would have designed a specific gear lever for the i8. It is quite obviously a parts bin item in an otherwise bespoke cabin.

-The vent in the hood looks a bit silly, but if it is for cooling the electric motors I suppose it is okay.

Overall, I'd say it is a solid 8.5/10 in terms of design.
