After speaking with BMW's global sales chief last week at the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/la-auto-show/">LA Auto Show</a>, Reuters has learned that the plug-in hybrid <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/i8/">i8</a> sports coupe is already sold out for its first year on the market.<br />
<br />
There is no word as to how many i8s BMW sold, but the first example was delivered to a customer last week in Germany. As for the all-electric/range-extended <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/i3/">i3</a> hatchback, the automaker has received more than 10,000 orders for this model before it even goes on sale. Likewise, we don't know how many BMW plans to sell, but we do know they'll be showing up in the US before next summer.<br />
