Dude can you ask if they have the Display Key for the i8? And if you can get some photos of it?

The Frozen Grey looks pretty nice on the i8 actually!

Thanks for posting these.

Sorry, the BMW guys had left, and no one could find the display key.

Be anxious to hear what the Concours car goes for in the auction. I believe there will be a web feed of it, but I'm not sure what time the i8 will come up. Any info you can relay about this would be appreciated.

Getting a Delorean vibe from the color. A lot better than the press release pictures.

Spotted it! Take a look at this photo posted from the BMW preview event last night. What's that I see docked in the console above the shifter?

Great find indeed. Wonder if it's a dummy unit?!? LOL. TBH though, it does seem to give the stance that a Display Key will be available at some point in the future more credence.

Key!

I see it, but still a bit hard to believe. We can only hope, pray and hold our breath! My luck; it will be a reality and I'll leave mine in my pants pocket when they go through the washing machine!

Haha, no, please don't do that.

Although, the amount of times I've gone swimming at the beach with my current BMW key fob is a little bit embarrassing. Amazingly, it worked right away each time....(at least 3 times now).

I don't think this key will be as lucky

It's worth the extra care.

And, should go without saying, but I would not recommend to valet your i8.

Big $$$

Unbelievable price bid up and paid for this 1 of 1 i8. Hope this bodes well for the rest of us, soon-to-be owners down the road.
