For all its serious futuristic looks, BMW i8 can be turned into a fun and playful thing with something as simple as a wrap. It’s all about the color, as shown here with this Matte Orange BMW i8 by Metro Wrapz which looks like a candy.
And before you complain one should not do such things to an i8, you have to remember BMW themselves are very fond of fun and vibrant colors. They have a vast palette of brash colors for their M models, and that’s before we even get to their Individual range. They even have an official color very similar to what’s featured on this Matte Orange BMW i8 — although it’s a wrap — called Fire Orange featured on a number of special edition E92 M3s.
