Very interesting car !
The full carbon chassis (like the one in the i3) is phenomenal.
Also, it's less than 1500kg with batteries.

Well done BMW

I am still not convinced...

Have you noticed the wheels are 195 wide at the front and 215 at the rear?

Nice bicycle...

This made me laugh too:

The i8 is a very interesting car with a lot of innovations.
It has some very interesting technologies, that will probably change dramatically the BMW cars of the future (just imagine an M3 with carbon chassis...).

It is unfair to compare it with a Ferrari 458 as it is something very different.
The tyresize says nothing to me. I don't see why this car needs to have "fat" bling tyres.
