OK, there is no other way of saying this, BMW Abu Dhabi is showing off now! After showing us a super unique green i8, they have now unveiled a yellow BMW i8 Individual at their showroom. Nowhere else in the world you can by i8s in these special colors.
Granted, green and yellow are not the kind of colors people sophisticated enough to consider buying an i8 would normally go for. But we have to say, they do look pretty awesome. The contrast between the serious looks of the i8 and the vibrant and fun color is an interesting dichotomy.
This yellow BMW i8 is also unique in the sense that its ‘i’ parts – front grilles, fascia accents, etc., – usually blue on standard i8s, are finished in red here. We have of course seen yellow i8s before, but that one was a tuner car and heavily customized. This one is standard apart from the paint job.
