Thomas Keller, the American chef, restaurateur, and cookbook writer, is a long time BMW fan and owner of four bimmers. The latest addition to his collection is one of the first BMW i8 models to be delivered to US customers.

Chef Keller went to the 2014 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance to pick up his Sophisto Grey i8.

For of those of you foodies out there, here is an interesting tidbit about Chef Keller. He is only American chef to have been awarded simultaneous three star Michelin ratings for two different restaurants: The French Laundry in Napa Valley and Per Se in New York City.
