Well, I lost £1k when I pulled my deposit on a roadster due to Covid. Even though it was a secondhand car and in dealer stock, the BMW main dealer refused to return my deposit which was disappointing- particularly having bought my original
i8 coupe brand new.

The biggest difference between the two is the lack of tear seats in the roadster. They aren’t the best for transporting people anyway (think 911 style) but do make the car significantly more usable by increasing storage for shopping etc. The boot on the i8 can also get hot, so storing shopping inside the car has benefits.

Roadster has slightly better range than early coupes too. Otherwise, same brilliant package!
