BMW i8 teaser video. Unveiling September 10th:
Have you seen it in real life? I just saw it 2 days ago, it is a very nice looking car. I am on the top of my list too. The first one they get here is june/july. I have no idea when delivery officially starts, but you can not even officially BUY one until March as far as I am told.Anyone out there going through the process of buying one?
I'm being told that the allocations have been lowered and now that virtually all dealers are getting premiums for the first wave. Anyone else being told that?
And the spec process should begin within 30 days I was told.
Put a deposit a bit ago and I am first on this dealer's list. But the whole above list crap really steams my beans. What's everyone out there seeing.
I'm mostly ambivalent to negative about BMW. But I figured this would be a nice one to have with the doors and all. I guess I justified it because of the doors. I'm just looking for reason not to walk away. It does look cool. Not sure if over list cool however.
Or say "intercourse it" and get a stingray for half the price.
I was looking at that car also. But, like you said: It's not that cool enough to pay over list price for. I'm sure it will look and handle nicely, but it's really no quicker than a standard V8 Mustang GT.Anyone out there going through the process of buying one?

Yeah looks like a very cool piece of kit. They seem to have it well sorted also... Which he'd have shown the seating and luggage spaces. I know he's about driving but would be nice to know the full package.Funny how chris now uses the McLaren "Torque Fill" term even for this oneSo looking forward to my i8
