This is a mainstream car with mainstream dealerships, not a tesla or fisker. This car makes sense to the audience considering an M5/M6 or a Porsche 911....but gets Considerably better mileage. I think in a few versions I would seriously consider this car...this new platform will have a Ton of bugs. BMW struggled to get my 335i right in MY'12, I ain't making the guinea pig mistake again for awhile!

It's for airflow and aerodynamics not for venting the engine...

Truth is, this is actually 4 year old tech, this car was pretty much set in stone when it was originally shown. Can you imagine what the next gen version of the i & M cars will be like with the lessons that were learned from this project?

This car is UGLY imo......Im trying to like it but its not happening at all.
Where in the hell are the Angel Eyes?? The blue matte color pattern is horrendous and tacky. The wheels look like they should be in a Kia!!! For $135k and it has a 1.5 liter engine - are u kidding me??? You got new Corvette with V8, Audi R8 with V10, MB SLS, Porsche 911 Turbo.....Petrol engines are not going ANYWHERE! Look at BMW and Lexus Hybrid models sell at low #s for luxury automakers. This thing will not sell. People that buy supercars are enthusiasts. Last time I checked a tiny 3 cyl supercar doesn't sound exciting. If this had a Lexus badge - ppl would crap all over it.

Honest to god - I'll bet some of the posts in this thread are direct echoes from horse owners seeing the Model T for the first time Have some vision people - jeezuz! BMW is going to sell each and everyone of these they make and rest assured this technology will waterfall down in some way to every future BMW vehicle. Prepare yourselves for electric, lightweight M cars...It's coming

I wish we had a proper super car to compete against R8 and SLS but at least we have something. Before this, all we had was M6 which is an awesome car but it's basically 6 series on steroids, not a sexy stand alone car like R8 and SLS.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but I think i8 looks better than R8 but R8 is no slouch at all even after almost a decade. However, i8 looks like an Audi with the headlamp LEDs so it might as well be an Audi. |

Do you realize that you're the one that keeps/kept us excited with M8, M10, M100 super car coming around 2016 rumors, right? now you're saying what you got us excited for is nonsense?
And are you honestly saying M4 is sufficient and makes it redundant to have a proper super car? M4 can perform better than R8 and/or SLS (which it won't), we still need a proper super/sport car. I do absolutely love(d) the i8 concept. Something completely new, something completely different. Until I saw the Audi lights. I'll still like it just because I'm a BMW fan but my patience is wearing out. A decision not to make a proper super/sport car and replacing it with i8 (i8 itself is an awesome concept, but it shouldn't make it redundant to make a proper sports car) and a genius decision to start a revolution and coming out with the incredible i8, with signature Audi design. SMH.... I appreciate your updates and insights but you always just try to blow off complaints and feedbacks from real and loyal BMW fans on this forum that are against the direction and/or decision BMW is going to Quote:

For those asking about the lights... They could not put them on as the tech is not legal in the US.
