As they've alluded to, there are no "options." Things like HUD, HK Upgraded Stereo, Active Cruise, Collision Mitigation, "Pro" Navigation, etc. are included in the base price of $135.7k. There are three "Worlds"...or "interiors" as they are typically called, 4 colors, two of which have a choice of blue or black highlights, and two rim choices. The only color that costs extra is white at $1,800.

Giga ($2,000) gets you a full leather interior in either "Ivory White" or "Amido Black" (Black leather also gets you a black headliner)

Tera ($3,000) gets you a brown leather/cloth interior

"Pure Impulse" ($10,800) gets you grey leather with blue seatbelts. It also comes with:

"i8" embossing on the headrests

A zerconium oxide ceramic gear level handle

Black Floor mats with leather borders and blue stitching

Engine/Trunk cover in black leather

Laser engraved "i8" in door sills

Black brake calipers

BMW i Pure Impulse Card for the BMW i Pure Impulse Program

I'm going Sophisto Grey and the only way to get a black interior is Giga with the Amido Black so that decision makes itself(and none of the Pure Impulse extras are enough to make me pick grey over black). Style-625 Turbine wheels.

You mean you're not going to spend TEN GRAND for a leather-lined trunk and a concierge?

Is this the only BMW to not be offered in Alpine White?

It certainly looks pretty. I'll buy it from you in two years. $20k sound good? :)

How far out are they guessing your delivery date will be?

Especially when you consider the service will likely only useful in their "major" markets like SF, LA, NYC, and Southern Flordia.

Yeah. And early reports are saying you won't be able to do BMW "Individual" orders of i8s for at least a year or more.

So, no Techno Violet i8's for over a year?
