A TOP of the range sports car has been plastered with a parking fine while its driver was shopping in London's upmarket jewellery district.
The shiny new BMW i8, worth £100,000, was parked six inches outside the designated bay - with the parking warden immediately zoning in.
The car was parked without a resident permit, with the front wheel also sticking out into the road in Hatton Garden, London's jewellery quarter.
The warden waited for several minutes for the driver to return before pouncing on the vehicle in Greville Street.
He issued an £80 parking fine for the offence.

The parking officer with the Borough of Camden said: "The car is parked outside the bay and it doesn’t have a residents permit."
He added: "We can punish them for either offence. I logged it as not having a residents permit.
"The driver didn’t seem to care about the rules. He’s left his car parked like he can do anything he wants."
The driver eventually returned to the car but didn't seem phased by the fine.
Other motorists with luxury cars often opt to park in an exclusive car park - with the site home to impressive cars including a £300,000 orange Lamborghini Aventador.
But others have gone to impressive lengths to park their car - like in these Florida apartments.
