Which is what exactly? An i8 and a 10 year old Ferrari have just about zero in common, barring the number of wheels and doors. Are you expecting BMW to have still offered this at $140k when the F430 was ~$200k when it was new? Maybe they should have dropped all the tech, too, and just put a 14 mpg V8 in it.
No...the point is if I have 140k to spend I will be looking at new and used cars like lot of people would...so personally I could not justify spending 140 on the i8...id rather take the used Ferrari. That's just how I would spend my $

Now you...i presume you also live in a free country so spend your $ however you like.

As far as the engine...id love an i8 with a V8 in it...clearly would be McLaren 570s pricing I'm sure but then BMW would have a car to compete in that market
