BMW i8 Spyder is Finally Real. Prototype Spotted at Nurburgring
BIMMERPOST NEWS BMW i8 Spyder is Finally Real. Prototype Spotted at Nurburgring The BMW i8 Spyder Concept first debuted years ago at the 2012 Beijing auto show, but it's now finally becoming reality. Seen here is the first prototype i8 Spyder, spotted while testing on the Nurburgring. It wears a camouflaged removable roof panel, which we hope will be made of carbon fiber on the production car. The i8 Spyder is expected to debut in Spring of 2018 after the i8 Coupe is facelifted, so expect the Spyder to debut with the refreshed look and upgraded performance. |

I think it will be very minor for the i8, latest iDrive inside, couple of color changes, couple of new wheel styles, very minor tweaks to front and rear bumpers, done. |

Also, interesting to see how the first i8 on the track has the North American Brake Force Display with rear fogs being activated for hard brakes, whereas the one after had the Euro Brake Force Display which flashes all the brakelights.

Theres something weird about it. Doesn't seem to retain the design of the concept from the B pillar to the rear. Looks like a regular i8 with a retractable panel roof. Anyway, I don't really care for the i8.
And it's also wierd that Bmw has given the green light to this even tho there are a lot of i8 sitting at the dealers lot. |

This looks more like an i8 HomeMade SunRoof than an i8 Spyder. I'm really excited to see what this car looks like I'm the end, this is clearly at its earliest stages.
