Thanks for trying, though.

Edit: I should add, the gullwing doors of the i8 disgust me.
First What in the world are you talking about are you blind ?

Second the i8 is not astronomically expensive. now that most people cant afford it is a different story.. may be you should educate your self on the car before you post an uneducated remark like that.

Lastly "you" don't like the Gull-wind doors ? again something is wrong with you

I'm dying here

And what the hell is a Gull-wind door?

I'd rather buy an Tesla Model S P90D in my opinion.

I re-wrote the gull wing door name that he previously mention in his post.

Regarding the p90 (Mazda 6 look alike) comment sure go buy one.. Totally different cars there Bud ! :

It's a freaking Model S.

BMW even used the same color.

Is this the first time BMW has been forced to copy another cars format?

Usually BWM is getting copied.

BMW hasn't released any renderings of an i5. I agree whoever crafted those used a Tesla as the basis, but it wasn't BMW.

Bad news for Tesla.
An i5 would seriously cut into Tesla's emerging market. I have to think BMW will position some new product in the Type 3 price range. Tesla's future is completely committed to that one product and their new assembly plant coming on line smoothly. Many hurtles to clear in the coming months.
And now Apple is acquiring McLaren.
I sold my Tesla stock today on the news.
