BMW i8 Best Color Poll

sppr · 01-01-2019, 05:58 PM

I remember reading a post in the forums about which colors people like, but I don't think I've bumped into a poll. Therefore, I thought I would make one, would love to see what most people think. Please feel free to leave a comment too !

Let me know if i missed a color !

Thanks !

I didn't add those because they are not factory colors and so most people wouldn't really go for them. There would be way too many custom colors to include if so, yellow, purple etc.. Regardless of that, black matte is my personal favorite, especially on a lamborghini aventador

JasH · 01-02-2019, 11:39 AM

White with blue highlights, but even better with blue/black Turbine wheels

They were factory colours.

Looks like Crystal white is ahead by a wide margin.

It's tied with the gray one, which surprises me a bit, but those two are leading the race indeed

I have a Protonic Red edition. Gets lots of compliments on the color!

See the donington grey in person and you'll never look back.

To tell you the truth, it's the only color I wouldn't buy. Just looks kinda vintage, too old style for my taste.

Good. I hope everyone shares your sentiments and leaves those DG alone so my old self of 29 years of age can get back into one this month.

All yours

And I am just 4 years older

I mostly like the Sophisto Gray, but I can see the appeal of white too.

LateKnights · 02-09-2019, 02:15 PM

Im running one of the 30ish right hand drive matt black factory editions, with gloss black wheels! It looks amazing! I would be hard pushed to select another colour!! Perhaps the protonic Red!!! ( wish i knew how too post pics!! 🙈 )

buddenfan · 02-10-2019, 03:26 PM

Thw ones with the blue accents are the best ones. The blue lines give it an extra pop and ‘it’ factor.

The ecopper is great also.
The donington grey needs blue accents otherwise it looks dull and boring

MichaelJohn · 02-10-2019, 10:01 PM

The blue accents on a white car has always been my preferred combo. I’m disappointed that next month I’ll have to change my license tag to a new color. The California blue sticker is almost a perfect match for the blue accents.

JasH · 02-11-2019, 03:12 PM

Looking at that rear shot makes me wonder whether I should in fact also remove the i8 badge (i.e. not merely remove the e-drive one).

buddenfan · 02-12-2019, 11:49 AM

Does anyone have the ecopper coupe or mephisto grey with blue accents and black rims? Curioust to see those

pandb1320 · 02-14-2019, 11:01 AM

I think the frozen blue accents look cheap, but that's just me. I know it's stupid popular.

I also love most BMWs in white, but found it broke up the lines too much for me.

I'm not a big fan of black cars, mostly because I think they are a pain to keep clean and often hide the lines of the car, but I think it [sophisto gray] works well on the i8. A bit more exotic as in, "what tf is that??"

I do like Silverstone as well. I'll be curious to see how this car ages

Just bought a 2019 one. If they released a proper //M version of this in a few years I'd be there with checkbook in hand.
