Finally, they announced this car! I can't believe how long BMW took, given that they showed this car in secret in Munich this summer.
They have however made a few changes since the secret prototype.
The most significant change is the massively better engine deck. It is better contoured, and is black. It was originally flatter, and in body colour, making it look like a boat deck, and much too big.
The Roadster is gorgeous in the metal. Truly stunning
Seats are greatly improved by the way.
I don't like the c pillar badging on both models though. They look cheap and unnecessary.
I agree with others' comments that the 12HP power increase is pitiful.
Overall, though the lack of changes to the original i8 go to show how right BMW got it with the original i8.
