Along with many tech innovations in the space, the i8 will be offered with laser light technology.
The optional high-beam headlights with laser light technology includes a typical BMW i U-shaped frame, from which the running lights and the built-in indicators are operated. A second, wide light frame surrounds the innovative laser light unit and emphasizes its three-dimensionality. a passively lit blue band signalizes the lighting unit’s innovative technology. In the equipment with laser light, the headlights have a brilliant metallic side cover rather than a dark one.
