First BMW i8 for US to be auctioned at Pebble Beach

So they’ve created a special i8 for Pebble which comes with a Frozen Grey Metallic paint job and a titivated interior with Dalbergia Brown Leather upholstery that’s been dyed using plant extracts – all very ‘Green’ – with BMW i Blue for the stitching and highlights.

But both those, quite reasonable speculations, turned to nothing.
