i8 is One Seriously Gorgeous Plug-in Bimmer

Who says that once you buy BMW's amazing i8, you have to settle for factory colors?

This particular model is wearing two-tone, satin black and gloss black duds, courtesy of RDB LA's vinyl wrap department.

They also lowered the car and put on custom spacers and wow does it stand out or what? Never mind the fuel economy, electric range, low CO2 emissions and all that. For some, those are simply bonuses to the car's already great looks and impressive performance figures.

It can reach 250 km/h (155 mph) and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.4 seconds - and that's nothing to laugh at.

This car apparently belongs to Los Angeles Lakers Power Forward Julius Randle, who also owns a Range Roverand a Porsche Panamera. The former Kentucky star played only one game in the NBA before getting injured, in which he scored 2 points from the field and missed two free throws from the line, in 13 min of play.

We're glad to see that didn't dampen his spirits and that he's spending his money on things that can put a smile on his face, since that's what life's all about.

Also, we're looking forward to seeing him on the court next season and we definitely commend him for his fine choice in vinyl wrap.
