In the proud tradition of the original M5 and CLK63 Black Series, the BMW i8 has no available options, they just include everything (which is appropriate given the price). A heads up though, most dealers have wait lists into 2016...and the BMW site says you get a $7500 EV tax rebate, but the IRS site says $3k~ish. We'll see.

Just went to my local BMW dealer, they sold the first one they got for well above MSRP (like I told you about earlier), but they have another one coming that's not sold yet(!).

Saw my first one in the wild (Fairmont Vancouver) a couple of weeks ago. They are pretty stunning in person.

I'll wait until it comes in a 4 door/5 passenger variant, and when I have $200k to blow on a car.

Saw my first one of these in Cali recently. Not as futuristic-looking in person as I would have hoped. Still unmissable though.

You're going to make so much money on this car. Please, please, please sell it to some moron willing to pay $50k more than you did...
