Abu Dhabi official BMW dealership, Abu Dhabi Motors just love their uniquely BMW’s right? Remember the yellow i8 or the similarly coloured 2017 M3 sedan that rolled in not too long ago, well the UAE-based dealer has now got their hands on an exclusive Twilight Purple foiled BMW i8.
While the vehicle is easily spotted in a crowd, the new paint job increases its visibility as does the select pieces of trim AC Schnitzer have added. This includes the new rear spoiler adorning the boot lid, front bumper and side skirts. Each corner sports an exclusive twin five-spoke rim.
Inside, it’s all the same with light beige leather covering each of the four seats, media inputs, iDrive onboard computer system, navigation, Bluetooth, power seats and cruise control modes. Exterior wise, there’s parking sensors, multiple cameras to provide a 360-degree view, adaptive headlights, performance tyres and butterfly doors.
AC Schnitzer hasn’t tinkered the engine leaving the 1.5-litre 3-cylider motor to exert 362 horsepower while paired to the electric motors. 0-100 km/h remains at a respectable 4.4 seconds, and it can hit a top speed of 250 km/h. The engine may not match its sports car looks. However, it’s faster than any other 3-cylinder motor and the Lexus RC-F that has three more cylinders!
Want to buy your own i8 to wrap in a beautiful colour? We’ve got used BMW i8 for sale in Dubai.
What’s next for the Abu Dhabi branch? We’re still waiting for a customised M2 or a 7-series or will they jazz up another i8 model?
