Incoming! BWM i8 gel pen/stylus

I made a somewhat impulse buy on eBay the other day for about $14 but I can't say I'm disappointed in the slightest. I guess BMW sent out a pen as a gift to new i8 buyers. My dad bought a new M235i a few months ago and BMW sent him a really nice metal usb drive so I guess it's legit. Can't say I know anyone with an i8 but I sat in one once. The pen is all metal except for the section that is real carbon fiber. It was advertised as a ballpoint so I wasn't expecting much of a writing experience. It's actually a .7mm gel pen and writes very nice. Really smooth and feels not unlike a rollerball. I was impressed! It also has a retractable stylus on the cap side that works great on an iPhone. Didn't think I'd use that either but it's been great. I'm putting it into my regular rotation. I really like gel pens despite the disposable/not a fountain pen factor. Here's some pics!
