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!

Real carbon section.

Closed stylus

Stylus out by turning the little wheel inside the helix frame of the cap.

The blue trim inside the pen body frame.

I remember driving a couple Aston Martins last year and I want to say they came with a lamy in the dash. Kind of weird I guess but at that price point they do all kinds of crazy things.
