Yes - the M4 could still win me over based on (perceived) driving position and its sexy frameless doors (yes, I'm weird). Obviously will have to drive both...

Brown, on the other hand, is fantastic. I was tempted to wait a month to get Amaro Brown but ED, summer vacation and kids take precedence. Plus, now I've got the SO/SO combo that scares the weak.

Thanks for posting your review @Soliris Very jealous of this event!

I agree, the i8 really is an interesting car. Much better looking in real life. And shows the direction of future BMW's. Btw... I have a friend who works for BMW AG... he sampled an i8 for a week. Interesting thing is he never had to plug the i8 into a charging station, to recharge the i8's batteries!! In normal driving condistions, the i8's engine(and brakes) charged the battery up to "full". So I think the i8 will continue to surprise its owners. I also have "heard" that the i8 has been tested with some "other" engines not of three cylinders. There will never be a M version... but I think we might see some more "potent" versions down the line.

I did not notice that. But i have to admit, i was very occupied with the new cars. Basically we changed cars every 30 minutes or so. Too much impressions for my poor brain in too short time :-) |

Yes it does seem that the "more M5 than 1M" unfortunately seem to be true. Quite annoying that BMW went this route given the overwhelmingly positive reviews of the 1M compared to the often panned M5. I'm no fan of the M5 myself but I find it impossible from the specifications that they are that much alike. I do suspect that F8X is one of those cars that will quietly find it's way to your heart after a somewhat lukewarm underwhelming first meet. At least that's what I hope for |

On a couple of posts in the past some have said that Sonoma Beige looks darker in real life than in the pictures, almost more like caramel. Did you notice that, or is it as light as your pictures appear? What did you think of the Mineral Gray?
