Correction.. What you WISH i8 would have been. However, in reality, the i8 was exactly what BMW wanted to make.

No shoulda/coulda/woulda about it.

And then 4 years later they made an 8 (without the i) that you clearly prefer.
I'm a little bit liquored up right now so I'll just have to take your word for it.
Heading that way myself
With enough Vodka, everything is all right !!

Alcohol has me asking .. what if BMW had made the 8er back in 2015 and just introduced the i8 today .. (taking into account the advancements in the tech since then)!

I like green cars, but not Signal Green. Don't even like it on PTS GT3s... sorry. I like lighter greens (even if more intense yellow tone) or darker, classier greens. Signal Green is just too childish looking IMO. To each their own though. Nothing wrong with it if you like it.

If this car is anything to go by what to expect to the M4. It will be pretty bad ass car. Can't wait.

M8 is an amazing looking machine. Tuners will easily hit 800+hp.

For my taste buds, that colour is not only overly loud, it also screams in the wrong palette direction.

Love the new 8 series front, and the back is OK too.
However, the side view leaves me cold. Reminds me of a Ford Mustang.
Moreover, I feel the air vents/scoop trim pieces are too massive, plus they are accentuated by contrasting gloss black......I'd say that looks tacky although some people might see in it an "aggressive" look which they like. Obviously, BMW body styling people know their buyers' preferences better than I do.

This is the easiest color to wrap in vinyl, or even color dip, and you get bored of it after a while, why order it and pay extra $$$

Individual wouldn't exist if everyone would wrap.
The results are different from paint to wrap.
For some people it's not the first look/impression it's the quality.

Agreed, but temporary paint have advanced so much you can’t tell the difference, especially car dipping since it is a normal paint process but is just peelable later on.

Yes do pay for an individual color, but maybe something you can live with longer, instead of a flashy green.

The 8 is a luxury sports coupe, it deserves a classy paint job too

:
Sense when is M8 120K?

Naked starts at 133K and most people will be at 150k

But yes, I wouldn't wrap 150K car.

Besides you order this color because you love it, if one day becomes old, having that much money I would paint different color not wrap it.

Because the cost of said paint can be residualized into your lease.

It's only a monthly payment.

i'd have to see it in person, but it doesn't seem to go with the car. but the 850 is so much different in person you cant say without seeing it.

As i always use to say..when you have this kind of color you celebrate twice..first time when you buy the car and second time,when you manage to sell it.
