How do you export to IFC from Microstation V8i ? I don't have the option when I look through the list of files when choosing "Export". Do I need to install an add-in?

You can do the following with IFC files:
IFC files open as read-only. You can import IFC files as DGN files. To export, you should do what Jon Summers suggests and take a look at AECOsim Building Designer.
What are you really trying to do in Microstation? and are you using just plain Microstation assuming you dont have AECOsim and only plain microstation then you cant cant really make data that is BIM relevant so making data available for IFC is not going to work anyway...
So I assume you need to give it to some BIM people who want to import your DGN vector data, if so then assume its for REVIT or similar they should be able to import autocad DWG data .. so ask them if they can import DWG or DGN if only DWG then just export to DWG...
