e-Copper i8 Roadsters

Does anyone know how many of the 3884 Roadsters that were made were in E-Copper paintwork?

New Arrival

So, took the plunge a couple of days ago and got a 2020 Roadster from a main dealer. They also had a white 2018 coupe but this was pre-lci and, having test driven it, I found the seats less comfortable and the range obviously less than the roadster. I took the car for a couple of drives yesterday, most of which was done on battery. Photo attached

Still trying to track down how many copper i8s were produced out of the 3884 made. Any ideas how to find out?

You mention seats less comfortable. Did they change between 2018 and 202? Also what does pre Lci mean?

LCI refers to the facelift that BMW did in mid 2018. This included the launch of the roadster (which always had the larger battery) and the revised Coupe (which now included the larger battery and associated styling cooling and styling changes).

The roadster definitely had a different seat design (including the release mechanism at the top). Having a bad lower back, I found the roadster far more comfortable in the lumbar region. I do not know if the post LCI coupes had modified seats or not.

To know if you are looking at a post LCI coupe, you look for the word "Coupe" written on the side behind the passenger compartment. Many pre LCI cars are present on later number plates due to using up stock

That's a really good question (for any colour). I saw a thread where someone appeared to be maintaining an i8 register. I would like to find out more about that. What assists a bit is the following link:

https://www.howrareismycar.co.uk/bmw/i8/

This is just for UK registrations but if you click on the colours tab, it is likely these are recorded as orange (as opposed to copper) it shows 106 (which would include both coupes and roadsters). I've not (yet) been able to find a site that differentiates between the two models.

This is useful data and I am most interested in the U.K. data but it is a pity they do not separate out the roadster. The logic may not be sound but given that only 19% of the 20465 cars made were roadster then of the 105 E-copper cars maybe only 25 or less are likely to be roadsters.

LCI Coupes do not have the modified seats but we still retain the release mechanism behind the headrest to assist with access to the rear seats.

I wonder how many LCI Coupes were made I would venture the number is less than the Roadsters.
