IMO the i8 is a very praiseworthy effort by BMW from the engineering point of view.

But it is unnecessarilly too ostentatious for its class. It is neither a hypercar nor even a supercar, so why all this flashy design? Travelling daily in this car, as intended,  will make the driver more conspicuous than in a Ferrari Italia or even a 918, which might be ok if this is what someone wants yes
