Barely a week after the car’s arrival here, BMW, and local dealer Performance Motors Ltd, has delivered the first unit of its BMW i8 plug-in hybrid sports car to one lucky Singaporean.

The customer in question is Mr Alan Lim, Managing Director of Chuan Lim Construction Pte Ltd. Mr Lim expressed his excitement at being the first person in Singapore to own an i8, and declared during the delivery ceremony, “I am elated to be the first to collect the new BMW i8 here in Singapore. I have been waiting for this remarkable vehicle to arrive after having read about the wonders and specifications of this electric car.” He adds, “This amazing BMW i8 is a gift to my wife.”

Mr Alex Yap, Managing Director of Performance Motors Ltd, enthused, “We congratulate Mr. Alan Lim in becoming the first to own a BMW i8 in Singapore. The BMW i8 is truly an auto engineering masterpiece. Not only does it have the power and speed of a sports car, it is highly fuel efficient and has low CO2 emissions.”

And expect to see more than a few i8s cruising around our roads over the coming months, as CarBuyer understands that the first shipment of BMW’s futuristic hybrid sports car bound for Singapore has been completely sold out. A PML insider also revealed that the dealership has already received 40 orders for the car, with the waiting list now stretching into next year, making the i8 an unprecedented sales success for the brand.
