I've gone blue. I'm happy standing out, I guess.

Good on ya!

I wasn't that brave.

Mind you, these are not subtle cars, whatever the colour.

Proper lairy machines!

Agreed - I've gone for the shy retiring white option

If I ever get bored of the blue ... not at all understated!

[K2MDL]

The blue looks great too but when the designers pen a shape so beautiful as the i8, it looks good in any colour. When do you get yours?

I really like that orange. Maybe like the yellow/green satin wrap better. £3.5k for a new colour doesn't sound to bad to me.

[K2MDL]

I agree, the chromatic yellow finish looked even better but that was a whole lot more! £3.5k is low for a colour change but I always cringe when I see guys open doors etc. on wrapped cars and you can see the original colour. Just looks cheap. Plus of course they chip and fade and generally need changing after 3-5 years.

Couldnt imagine keeping a wrap for anywhere near that long anyway. I'd see it as a 1-2 year thing.

Is that how much it cost to wrap in Orange?!

No idea how much it costs for various colours, as theres no prices on their website. I was just going by the price mentioned by K2MDL above.

Wonder if it would be any cheaper in yellow.....

It would seem that that orange car is now for sale.

That looks gloss Orange, and Im sure the wrapped one was matte orange?

Yeah, I think you're right.

One of our client's is looking to sell their 2015 i8 at a very favourable price?! A religious new year for them means a new toy coming up after just 3000 miles! Great colour.

Pity about the bogo standard wheels though, but nice colour.

[JiggyJaggy]

Wheels are easy to change. I haven't fallen in love with any of the i8 BMW wheel options tbh.
