Tony.

 

[How 29]

Nice. But well out of my price range. Besides where's the soft top.

 

[Slam]

Needs staggered alloys

 

[Nodzed]

Nope

The roof, which consists of a large fabric panel and integrated header rails, opens automatically in 15 seconds at speeds up to 31mph

Well thats nothing Tony pull the locks on a Z3 at 80mph and it will open in under 1 second.

 

[Taz Horton]

He he I used to do that on my mx5 Thummp and it's down

 

[the Nefyn cat]

Nah, not as pretty as a Z3. And far more complicated, I'll be bound. Think I'll stick to something I can fiddle with.

 

[Lee]

Yes Please

That’s what happens when you give a designer an etch-a-sketch for Christmas.

You couldn't park that outside my house in Cambridge the students would nick the extension lead !!

 

[Biggbn]

Ooh yes. i8, z8 and 507 are my Euro millions bmws.

I saw an i8 going up the hill at Goodwood last year, sounded like an electrical appliance. Supercar without drama is not good.

 

[the Nefyn cat]

Supercar without noise is not good. I remember years ago hearing something remarkable coming up the high street when I lived in Cheriton, looked out the window to see a Countach go by. Oooh V12.

 

[Redcon1]

I like the i8 for pushing boundaries, but don't want to own one. Many more interesting cars, mostly older, for that money.

I had a Countach rip by me at 200MPH+ on the Autobahn between Darmstadt & Frankfurt back in the late '80s. I heard the sound before I ever saw the car, and the change from an induction howl to the exhaust shriek as it passed was something I will never forget.

Is it what the kids call a Transformer ?
