BMW wagons are some of the most loved family haulers out there - check out the smile on their drivers' faces and you'll understand. And with the Internet enjoying dialing everything up to eleven these days, I can't say I'm surprised about the arrival of the rendering sitting before us, which portrays a BMW i8 Shooting Brake.
Sure, it's been a while since the Bavarians gifted the world with a shooting brake (what's your favorite, the Z3 M Coupe or the Z4 M Coupe?), but this didn't stop the digital artist behind the stunt from doing his job.

Yasid Oozear, the aficionado who gave the i8 some extra space in the back (make that a lot of extra room) has a thing for challenging conventions and seems to be in love with S/Bs. For one thing, this isn't the only BMW-related shooting brake the Brit has delivered (here's a digitally transformed McLaren F1 for you - the Woking supercar is animated by a BMW V12, remember?).

In fact, the artist even dropped a few thoughts along with his creation: "BMW i8 with extra +2 and a half seats? Probably one better “shooting brake” out of the lot but my.. how to squeeze in at the back now?"

Of course, since the i8 accommodates a a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine behind its uber-compact rear seats, the newfound body style would only improve the luggage capacity of the hybrid sportscar - I did dedicate a serious part of my i8 review to the rear seat area, so this new take grabbed my attention with ease.

Speaking of the real-world use of such a machine, perhaps it could be used as an ambulance for transporting organs or performing on-site interventions.

Then again, I prefer to keep this contraption in the virtual realm and I'm inviting you to use the swipe feature of the Instagram post below to enjoy the full eye candy.

In his quest to bring you the most impressive automotive creations, Andrei relies on learning as a superpower. There's quite a bit of room in the garage that is this aficionado's heart, so factory-condition classics and widebody contraptions with turbos poking through the hood can peacefully coexist.
