Donington Grey i8 Roadster + Donington Grey X5M = :)

I've been lusting for an i8 Roadster ever since they went into production just over a year ago. I didn't want to pay MSRP, so I've been patiently waiting. Well, the opportunity came in March for a great deal on the car, so I ordered one. It took approximately three months from order to delivery; I took delivery last Wednesday.

I've only put 100+ miles on it so far, but I'm loving every minute I drive it. It's the first convertible I've owned, and also the first plug-in hybrid. I'm very pleased so far.

Very nice

I’m considering that interior with sophisto or donington to replace my white i8....most people seem afraid of the e-copper interior

Thank you everyone! I'm a long-time BMW owner but I'm glad to be a part of the i8 family!

1967 Corvette Coupe under the red cover and 2008 E92 M3 (with 16,000 miles) underneath.

Very nice color combo! Great dog!

I didn't realize the Diplay Key was an option upon delivery through US Dealers. Do you mind if I ask what they charged you?

The display key isn't an option, I had to do some research and talk to the Parts Manager at my dealership. They were able to order the key and code it to my new car. MSRP of the key is about $600.

I too have a '19 Roadster but my dealer is telling me that, according to my VIN, this part won't work for my vehicle. Very strange as I find it hard to believe BMW would enable this feature for some '19's and NOT others.

I think your dealer is brushing you off and doesn't want to deal with ordering the key. You might want to try another dealer. The key should work for all 2019 i8 models.

It looks like that part number works with 2016-2017 i8. What year is your i8?

Also, I'm in the USA; not sure if different part numbers are country specific.
