570NM on 215 rear tires... Good luck to manage that torque lol....
Design is not bad but that engine is absolutely not exciting...

Personally I think it's stunning, but too expensive for me, plus I'm already getting 800 miles per tank out of my ED. Maybe I can afford one when I have a midlife crisis, or maybe I've gone past that already, driving like a grandma to get that kind of tank range. |

This is a halo car. its probably going to be the 3rd or 4th car for someone. it will sell more in the US as it has nothing to do with price of gas. if you can afford a 135k car, you don't care about price of gas.
It has more to do with a lifestyle choice/image. you want a sports car that looks unlike anything else on the street and has a drivetrain unlike anything else on the street--then this is for you. if you want a panemera/911/r8/aston, then by all means get one--you are not the target audience, although I am willing to bet many who buy this car will probably also own one of the aforementioned cars. if you own one or two 100k car, this car is above your paygrade son

What was the point of your statement? I was simply stating my opinion of the car and the market I think will buy this car.

Iat the haters.
Imagine the technology that will be passed down thru the line up in the coming years. All the potential weight that can be dropped on future cars with the i8/i3 in an actual production run. Real world R&D...for the long term benefit. The future of performance is not about how much HP you have, but how much your fat ass weighs. I wonder what the 2021 M3/M4s are going to look like...how will they be powered...how much will they weigh...etc. You bastards are a tough crowd...impatient and lack vision.

bmw makes probably the most modern and innovative looking car out there and then its too expensive and only rich hipsters will buy it, its missing angel eyes, bla bla bla. who cares? they actually made something that belongs in 21st century but ooooh no, a bleedin 335 will get em further on a tank of gas... yes, until you go to limp mode for nth time, whatever. its not the pooint. its the right car for the times.

This car looks so fast maybe that explains why the haters are so butt hurt that it won't keep up with a porshe 918, that costs ten times as much.
seriously good looking car, drive all week to work without using gas, then beat an r8 v8 light to light. pretty cool. I think it looks more forward and modern than ANY other car under 500 grand. maybe BMW will make you guys a "halo" car that melts your face with acceleration so you can win some magazine races... |

Thats a very possible explanation. Although, I remember the less powerful (and probably less boosted) versions of the b38 (the ones in the 1er that they showed to the press) also had sub 7k redlines. Weird. |
