RE: BMW i8: Delivery Miles

BMW care if they're embarrassed. I'd post it on youtube and bimmerpost. I know for a fact they look at those boards because BMW munich called my dealership about my M2 post on there since it was released to me before the launch date.

Can't be that hard to get in and out of. I witnessed a couple who must have been in their eighties getting out of one on a tight garden centre car park. The guy just needs to take his cod liver oil.

My extended test drive in one of these left me totally underwhelmed. It really didn't feel that quick even in full beans mode, averaged 27mpg and the synthesised noise was not remotely convincing. Having said that the various systems were very well integrated and it's a great first attempt but ultimately hybrids are a dead end technology IMO. Despite it not being my kind of car, I really wanted to like it but in the end, I couldn't warm to it.
