i8 Roadster incoming March 2020

[BishBosh]

Okay so it’s a 19 but registration will be for March this year...

Had a test drive for a long weekend last year but couldn’t get over the high initial price to buy one, now however whilst depreciation is still going to get me I think they are at a price that is more in line with what they should have been all along.

Crystal White, nice alloys most options included except laser lights. Looking forward to some silent wafting with the roof down

Booked in for gtechniq treatment too so I’ll probably upload some before and after pics.

Good for you. It's a cool car imo.

I’ve had my Roaster since they were first launched in June 18; mine being the first supplied out of BMW Park Lane according to the exec there.
Though I’ve seen a few on instagram, I’m yet to actually see one another one on the road myself! Always turns heads, especially when synchronised exiting! Doors up!
EV range is better than the previous coupe I had at circa 33 miles, and the average mpg is showing 78 after 20 months use!
The depreciation though
Enjoy in the lovey spring weather

That’s good to hear that your getting over 30 on electric Graham. My commute is around that and was hoping it’d be good enough as I can charge both ways...
At least someone else is admitting to having one lol... and by the sounds of it you must like them as you’ve had 2.

Car has been collected and looks superb.

Will see how the next few months go, we have had a few sunny spells so roof has been down, I am enjoying the quiet driving style. Bring on the summer...

I have it booked in to Gtechniq in Nether Hayfield in 3 weeks time to get a full stage 1 polish and 'crystal coating applied inside and out. Not going for any ppf this time Just the nano coating.

I’ve had the dealer apply a few upgrades before collection to the interior.
Replaced all the plain trim parts with the matt finish carbon fibre effect.

Before



After



Very pleased with the results.

Also changed the apple car play to full screen, surprisingly very easy to apply. Hopefully no permanent damage but paid £15 from an eBay seller for the files and applied via usb.

I’ve sent the car in to have it fettled, polished up and nano coated.

Hopefully the weather will hold for the end of the week. The Crystal White looks great in the light and will be terrific after this detailing work....
