Just standard BMW orange peel

Great to see a find like this.

I know I will get lambasted for this, but isn't the i8 the spiritual evolution of the M1? Not the fastest car available, but definitely cutting edge from a technology perspective.

Show pics of it cleaned up. Need followup thread. It hurts to see it dusty and under junk like that

Plus OLEDS!

I would actually buy a car that lacked these options. Manual seats are just fine, as long as I can tilt the front thighs up. Radio? pshssss. I can do with out. CF? Looks rice on any car, no thanks. Tons of weight? Shoot, more like tons of driver
