I8 Roadster

Hi
After going to a M850i from an i8 (2015 coupe), I got a deal on i8 Roadster that I could not pass up. So after 1,000 miles on the 850, I traded it in for Roadster. It is copper with white/black interior. So far, I'm liking the improved performance and the 30 mile e-range.

You’re the 3rd person I’ve heard who’s gone from 8 series to i8 roadster

The realty is that the 8 series (as nice as it is) will be mass produced in coupe/conv/gran coupe and M form....plus the lease is terrible atm. Nice exhaust note though on the 850

Nice color combo. I don't think I've ever seen a Copper w/ any other interior except the Copper or the Dalbergia Brown....

"improved performance" from the i8 relative to the M850? Really?

I meant the improved compared to the 2016 i8 coupe I had. M850 and i8 are two totally different cars. But the cost of i8 lease is a lot less than M850 despite it being a more expensive car.
