PRESS RELEASE:

Final 18 BMW i8 cars leave Plant Leipzig.

June 25, 2020

Leipzig. Austin Yellow. British Racing Green. Le Mans Blue. The last 18 BMW i8 vehicles left BMW Group Plant Leipzig today as their future owners looked on. Each car was a one-off created in close collaboration with the customer. “The degree of customisation in these vehicles threw up some major logistical and process challenges,” said Plant Director Hans-Peter Kemser. “But our i production unit has proved yet again that nothing is impossible.”

Manufacturing a BMW i8 is in itself a feat of modern automotive construction, owing to the vehicle concept, drive technology, and unique mix of carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) and aluminium. But the final 18 special models presented the i8 production team with particular challenges on top: each one was finished in a paintwork colour that had previously not been applied to the outer skin components of a BMW i8. Painting such a large number of exterior parts in the specified colour made production and logistics far more complex. Manufactured and painted virtually by hand by a range of suppliers and at BMW Group Plant Landshut, the challenge lay in getting the components to the production line in full premium quality. And with each part being the only one of this colour in existence and highly complex to reproduce, the utmost care and precision were required in logistics and throughout series vehicle production.

“Yet again, we have proved our ability to meet the highly discerning standards and personal specifications of our customers with unique solutions and unparalleled skill,” said Plant Director Hans-Peter Kemser. “For BMW i8 production to end with a finale like this is something we can all be very proud of.” The final vehicles also have customised components in their interiors, such as Alcantara covers for seats and steering wheels, and special trim strips and fascia panels.

The customers in Plant Leipzig today – some of whom were members of the BMW i8 Club International – were on location to see their vehicles leave the factory gates and be handed over to vehicle logistics. Claus-Dieter Bachmann, President of the BMW i8 Club, described the day at the plant as a “highlight for our club members”. The unique vehicles, he said, are the “dream cars” of their future owners, adding: “The BMW Group and Plant Leipzig have enabled something truly outstanding.”

 

La producción ha sido de 16.581 Coupés y 3.884 Roadster

BMW i8: Final sales numbers



The BMW i8 grand finale took place last week with the roll out of the last 18 coupe and roadster models. Therefore, the final production numbers are now final, pun intended. In total, there are 20,465 units of the progressive hybrid sportscar on the market.


As expected, the BMW i8 Coupe is the more popular model since the i8 Roadster was introduced at a later date and with a higher price tag. A total of 16,581 BMW i8 Coupes were built in Leipzig before the era of the BMW Group’s first mass-produced plug-in hybrid ended on June 11, 2020 with a copy in Portimao Blue. The i8 Coupe production started at the beginning of March, 2014.




With 3,884 units since summer 2018, the two-seater BMW i8 Roadster is considerably more exclusive than the four-seater coupe with its two “emergency seats” in the rear.

While the BMW i8 started up with 362 hp, a small increase in output was added in Summer 2018 – 374 hp. From the beginning, the BMW i8 Roadster was only built in the more powerful version. The increase in power output was achieved thru a “tune” of the electric motor. The BMW i8 facelift offered an electric range of 40 to 50+ kilometers.


The final 18 BMW i8 models were done in a particular paint that had not been used on the i8 before. Therefore, such a task created a number of challenges, as the paint shop had to modified to accustom these demands. To solve these issues, the cars were basically hand painted.


Each of these last 18 cars were created in close collaboration with their future owners so that truly special combinations would come to life.
