hope you like,

P.S ride in the Z4 Coupé felt better, (non run flats)
 
I think it's lovely - but only in black. In white and silver it looks... A bit try-too-hard.

I seriously covet this car. :wub:

Not seen one in yellow yet though Carol :D

I had a look around one on a stand at Munich airport - absolutely stunning
Particularly like the venturi over the back wings - never really noticed it in previous photo's
 
I think it's absolutely stunning. Takes the roadcar to a totally new level.

My daughter saw one on the road a few days back and there was little short of a wave of folks turning to look as it went by.

Price is a bit rich foe me though :(
 
I can't wait ... Mate's dad is getting one in Nov, no flimper in sight in the dark grey/black with ivory/white leather (I don't know the proper colours)

So I'll get some pics alongside the z!!!
 
I have drove one for 20 minutes. Absolutley awesome car. Only thing that niggles me is the elaborated sound of the engine through the speakers but i could quite easily get use to it.

The side sills are enormous. Makes getting into an sls like getting into a normal car lol
 
seen one a few weeks ago in a dealers, looks good but i hate the kidney grills with the blue bits on them (there was another small bmw outside with the same design)
 
They drive amazing. I have had a go in one. Nothing prepares you for how fast they actually are and how much tourque there is from the off. Totally amazing car in everyday.
 
I think the I8 looks nice in the photo's I've seen, but not outstanding. 8) The killer for me would be lack of performance, from a car costing that sort of money, that clearly has sporting pretensions.

It does bode, well for the next generation of hybrid cars, but I think BMW have brought this to the market too early. Other manufactures are still watching the technology and waiting for it to be truly worthwhile. Hat's off to BMW for that and I hope it does more than simply acting as an advert for the tech.

PS. A quick Google suggest the I8 is selling well, I'm happy to see. :thumbsup:

155 mph limited and 0-60 in 4.4 is hardly 'lack of performance'.
