@Landon Car that came out in 05. Car makers do make significant changes for important and or flagship cars. Think b4 u speak.
@Landon Obviously it's closer to production since they put in the time, engineering, and money to significantly change it from the concept that's been shown for years. The Dodge Charger came out in 1999 and looks waaaay different than the production
Which I okay, provided that the marketing material has an asterisk explaining that the vehicle's design is subject to change without notice. Or perhaps this goes without saying in the auto industry.
BMW has marketed this car using photos of the concept (the one used in the latest MI movie) with a release date sometime in 2013. But the thing is, we all know that the production vehicle will be quite different from the concept.
Description: The side view mirrors have moved from the A-pillar to the doors and the door handles have been lowered; that aside the body sculpting remains faithful to the concept i8 design. At the rear, the concep...

Description: A high-performance 3-cylinder gasoline engine sits in the rear of the concept rated at 220hp and the i3's electric motor is up front limited to 129hp with a combined 406lb-ft of torque. 0-62mph i...

Both great cars. Perform good, look good but if you drove them both you'd get 2 different experiences
@kevin, true but I'm thinking BMW is steering this car towards a different crowd than the people that prefer the M3. While the performance numbers may not be anything spectacular or different it's two different experiences. kinda like M3 and M6.
For the price BMW is likely to charge for this, I still say you're better off toying around with a M3 to achieve the same, if not better, performance for less of a fortune. I fail to see how BMW can make a case for this car's production, but not for a modern day M1.
220hp from a 3 cylinder seems like high performance to me. Civic Si and the gt-86 have 4 and dont produce as much
And europe has some eco friendly rules that cars can't go over 155 without paying an extra fee
0-60 in 4.6 sec it's close to m3 , with only 3 cylinders , that's better than high performances.
like what Jayden? I'm not a BMW fanboy but u have to admit that's a damn fine looking automobile.... camo aside. Best looking Bimmer I'VE ever seen, anyway.
I can't believe BMW is going through with this, but I really can't wait to see the finished product!
It's not i as in apple product bullcrap. I think it's just their new efficient-dynamics badging. Like the old e for economy. Who knows what it stands for though.
The whole thing is looking ugly, starting with the headlights. And BMW loses serious points if they start naming their cars i8 this and iCrap that.
oh yeah, the lights are definitely decoys. look just above them and you can see the real ones.
it's just a decoy taillight. if you go to the picture of the back and look right below the spoiler thing you can see them.
Looks like the i8 needs some proactive or something in the back XD the tailight is massive.
What is that an afterburner shooting out the back?... oh wait thats the over emphasized taillight..
Those tail lights HAVE to be a decoy light cover or something. It looks like a tumor!
This is essentially a fail if it doesn't look like the concept or retain the design elements .
Can't wait for it to come out...
