BMW could have kept the car as an experimental model, a "proof of concept." But BMW decided to make it a halo car. As a result, BMW let us drive it.
Of course, that's only those of us who buy or lease it rather than troll and slag it in BMW forums.

Well said! Too many petrolheads simply dont get the i8, everything about it has been done for a purpose, every design decision is deliberate, from the size of the engine to the aero body design, to the size of the battery pack, the lightweight interior trimmings, the wheel widths, the use of carbon fibre, the skimpy rear seat pads, the use of tech, the use of bmw standard parts where possible. This is an absolute bargain for a low volume absolutely unique car. Why do so many just focus on a V8 and fat tyres, bith of which are cheap, old tech. If thats all u want buy a mustang!
Oh, and i cant wait to see the spyder with the roof off!
