I'm pretty upset at this point and am now without the car. They said I can have it back until then but felt that is a poor answer since it could happen again!
It would be great to have a new i8 to drive while mine is not avail but this really sucks and I don't have a better answer at this time.

Ok final solution is done and the dealer was nice enough to give me a m340 while I was waiting.
Got the car back today as the battery came in early and they said the 12 volt battery was definitely weak. The replacement was a no charge item also. So I'm back on the road again!
I see no reason to try and fit some after market battery in the car and glad I didn't when Bmw took care of all expenses.
