BMW is preparing to say “Good Bye!” to the i8 in style: with the launch of the new i8 Coupe and Roadster Sophisto Editions. BMW will only built 200 units globaly and will start selling the car in 2020.

The i8 Sophisto Editions will be distinguished by Sophisto Grey metallic paint with E-Copper accents applied to the 20-inch radial-spoke BMW i light alloy wheels, kidney grille inserts and side skirt accent. The Sophisto Grey will be combined with High-gloss Black on the tailgate and the brake calipers and Shadowline on the C-pillar trim.

The interior brings nothing special, just “Ultimate Sophisto Edition” words on the door sill plates and a “1 of 200” badge.
