I quite like that Hydrogen i8 too
I have more faith and hopes for Hydrogen than for full electric as it functions the same way as a gas engine.

The 7 was an ICE run on hydrogen. We're talking hydrogen fuel cells here. Hydrogen fuel cells powering an all-electric drivetrain is far more efficient. The point is BMW almost always steps in 8 to 10 years behind in a technology then claim it as their own idea and the next best thing to sliced bread.
Oh, and I forgot to mention that General Motors had a production water-alcohol injected turbocharged aluminum V-8 in 1962. Google Oldsmobile F-85 JetFire.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
