My thoughts:
1) buying a used i8 with intent to 'try out' the car for half a year before investing in a new one was not a good idea.
2) buying the particular car from Sherbrooke sight unseen was a bad idea.
3) expecting BMW Canada to compensate you for Sherbrooke's crappy sale is a mess.
4) service tech driving your car for an extended period is not joyriding.

My advice? Take car back to Sherbrooke. Get advice from BMW Toronto as to how to best do this. Don't expect to be compensated for transport costs. Don't get emotional about this disappointing experience. Audi and Range Rover are no more reliable than BMW. Don't take what loaner car you get as a personal insult. Don't expect to be treated like royalty because you 'might' buy a new i8 in the future. Developing a good long term relationship with a dealer can be a good thing.
