The BMW i8 has become the definition of BMW electrified performance. With a 1.5-liter, inline three-cylinder combined with an electric motor and battery pack, the i8 is able to deliver 357 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. It’s enough to get the i8 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds. It has a fuel economy rating of 95 MPGe and has an all-electric range of up to 23 miles. Now, BMW U.K. is expanding its Individual program to the i8 with new paint finish options and a new set of available wheels.
The program includes the choice of a number of different exterior color options including, Speed Yellow, Solar Orange, Frozen Grey, Frozen Black, Java Green, San Marino Blue, and Twilight Purple, to name a few. As you can see from the images, the new paint finish will encompass about 90 percent of the car, leaving just a little bit of black on the roof, hood, and front bumper. Furthermore, the new gloss black W-Spoke alloy wheels add even more character to the car. According to BMW, the new finishes “Complement the i8’s styling” and “reflects the personal style of the customer.”
When talking about the new exterior paint program, BMW’s Director of Sales in the U.K., Richard Hudson, said, “The BMW i8 embodies the accomplished vision of a modern and sustainable sports car. The new paintwork colors not only complement the BMW i8s emotive styling and design, they also work harmoniously with the BMW i brand and provide customers with exclusive personalized options.”
The individual paint program and those new wheels are available at all BMW i Agents in the U.K. now with a price of £5,495 or about $7,942 at current exchange rates. The program is limited to the U.K., so if you’re one of the few U.S. owners out there, you better be willing to park your i8 on a boat for a while if you want to indulge in any of the new colors.
