i8 Delivery Houston Texas

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Hi Guys,

Just a few photos to share the delivery of our new i8! Got it yesterday and is most definitely the best car we've ever owned in terms of putting a massive grin on your face!

Enjoy the few photos, will upload some better non-iPhone ones later!

Awesome. I've got the same exterior with grey interior coming at the end of the week. The wait is hard.

The i8 looked really good. How was your dinner at Red Lion tonight?

Beautiful

Congrat's and great looking car. My i8 is still a few months out on delivery. It's a winter delivery, but here in SoCal that usually doesn't really mean a big weather problem. I see you also have a Z8. I had two Z's and foolishly sold both. I might get into another, if I can find the right one.
Did your dealer ever define what the "transport mode" issue was and how to avoid/correct it? It's those sort of program or interface issues that worry me most in such a technologically advanced car.
Meanwhile, enjoy the car, as your Houston Fall arrives soon.

Sounds like something the dealer may have forgotten to turn off in prep.
