The BMW I8 is visually striking and extremely rare. It remains to be seen whether the self-proclaimed sports car innovations with 362PS system performance will be fully implemented. The sporty look, on the other hand, has already done it. However, the suspension specialists from H&R and technology partners from BMW Motorsport wanted to "decorate" the I8 according to your wishes.

The result is H&R sport springs that were developed for the I8. After installing the springs, the BMW I8 lowers by 20 millimeters on the front axle and 15 millimeters on the rear axle. The driving dynamics also benefit according to H&R. So that the wheel arches are optically better filled, H&R has developed a "Trak +" wheel spacer that allows the wheels of the plug-in hybrid to be flush with the wheel arch.

Incidentally, the built-in rims are in a special metallic paint and are of the OZ Leggera HLT type. Even if some details have not yet been determined, the price does, at exactly 126.000 euros. (However only the basic price at BMW)
