Laurel BMW of
Westmont, IL, is selling on eBay a full scale replica of the new BMW i8. Ahead of its launch, most of the
BMW i-certified dealerships around the country have received a full scale BMW
i8 model to be showcased to customers in their show rooms.
Made of fiberglass,
the i8 replica comes with functional LED lights but there’s a slight catch- It
does not drive, doesn’t have an engine or transmission. You cannot open the
doors and it does not have an interior. And furthermore, the wheels do not
roll. So as you can probably tell, you won’t get very far at any speed in this
BMW i8.
The eBay advertisement
say that the BMW i8 replica should weight about 500 lbs since it was “carried
in” by four guys. It is hollow underneath, about a quarter inch thick and it
has bracing inside so it is very stable.
Essentially the car looks in its place in any
spot you put it so we can see this popping up in the future in clubs, bar,
restaurants or even in design exhibitions.
As of midnight,
August 23, the bidding price was up to $8,200, not bad for a purposeless
vehicle that doesn’t function like a car should.
The 2014 BMW i8 has a
base price of $135,700. A recent one-off BMW i8 sold for $825,000 in Pebble Beach.
