Way back, ten years ago, my thoughts were that BMW should explore the use of CF in a Z2 M venue. A superlight (1000Kg) roadster and coupe w turbo 4 cyl 340 hp, cost under $60k. That is BMW tradition, their niche. The i8 is throwing several different new technologies together in an elite venue, it is a complex exploration in search of a new niche. Not sure how it got approval from the bean counters, but the world is a more interesting place because it did.
