By now and with more than 30k units sold, and more surprisingly more than 4k i8's, BMW has a net payback on their disruptive venture.
Even the lame reverse engineering of the car in plain sight doesn't expose it to being cloned easily (have fun trying to mass produce carbon fiber all the intellectual property thieves! ) and the BMW brand name makes it perfectly priced.
More importantly all those new technologies are trickling down the product line and BMW made a pledge to get rid of the black goomp from the ground buring engine within 10 years.
Electric cars are just superior and mechanically more simple, and even if gasoline was $1 a gallon they would absolutely make sense on their superior acceleration and handling alone.
