The traditional key fob, or even newer iterations, are out the window and the high-tech i8 key is in. It comes with a high-resolution LCD display programmed to show some of the most relevant information in relation to the i8 hybrid sportscar. The i8 key fob displays the charge level, the range before recharging/refueling, the time it was charged, and whether the key is connected to the vehicle or not.
BMW seems to have learned something from Apple and Android-based phones, and the little key fob acts like a mini smartphone with re-programmable functions. As one can expect, the BMW i8 key fob won’t be cheap and a replacement will most likely set you back at least $1,000. Gulp.
The i8 goes on sale in Spring 2014 with a base price of $135,925.
