Well. Let's not jump to conclusions based on one anecdotal example. It's quite possible that BMW decided to use the first batch to honor commitments made at their dealers at the expense of their direct customers in Germany. Assuming they begin production on the first batch (800 or less cars according to some sources) in April, the next batch in October would make sense from a model year perspective as well. I'll still hold out hope that tremnon's was an isolated case and not indicative of the whole.
All that said, the i8 launch has been the weirdest I've ever experienced or heard of.
