    they had a bmw i8 party in Austin, I checked it out, free food and drinks and you get to check out the car... you can't drive it of course , but it's freaking nice.

    the only gripe is that it's hard to get in the car, and i'm not tall.

    Substandard for that price range

    $100k gets you a Tesla

    $50k more gets you less of a car with much more maintenance

    Verdict: No thanks

    Looks kinda messy. Like there's too much going on and the lines aren't very clean for a sports car.

    I'm partial to BMW's over Audi's but I think I'd rather have the R8.

    Would much rather have V10 R8. No more electric BS.

    the 'electric BS' is what makes the Tesla Model D the fastest production sedan in the world..

    fastest is it? Any euro performance sedan is electronically limited to 155mph. What does the Tesla do?

    Not what I expected when BMW at least by name associates it with its 8 series. Not really up on the design either, but it's a hell of a step up from the i3.

    That video was a good watch to see the new technologies coming out and eventually trickling down.

    you know the i8 will turn more heads than a Tesla or Audi.

    Quicker yes, definitely not the fastest though.
