I saw a bmw i8 in white today i was so surprised because its rare in bradenton florida to find sport cars. I only be seeing comaros and dodge and other cars.
I think maybe I have seen 3, or only 2 i8s in the past 3 years - and I am living in car spotter heaven. I also get around places where people play with their cars - nobody plays with an i8 though. It is amazing how people were crazy to spend up to 70,000 bucks more to get an i8 when new to skip the waiting list, but that faded in no time. BMW wanted to kinda position it in 911 territory, but nobody takes this car serious as a sports car. Since the i8 release, I have NEVER seen a comparison between any other sports car and an i8. Thinking of alternatives or competition, you will hear suggestions like GTR, F Type AMG, AM etc etc - but nobody ever says 'how about an i8 instead?' BMW never had luck with their prestige projects... the M1 didn't work, 8 series didn't sell while the SL released at the same time had a 7 (!) year waiting list when new, Z8 I have seen one in my life, Z 1 and now the i8.... all the while these are not cheap projects.
Baerchenization sport on....so i8 with a 40% discount is an amazing investment especially as only 2400 roadster only made......will be a £200,000 car in 25 yrs / as M1 is £500,000 after 40 yrs
FUN AND DRIVE I am only empathising your lack of car knowledge. This car has an ethos, was designed by vision that a future sports car could be economical and sporty. Putting a V8 would completely jeopardise the purpose of the car for what it was built for. But I don’t expect you to understand that with your cookie cutter ways.
@@clutched77 I know it was made to be economical but faking the hole experience by putting in speakers is just so wrong. I would rather choose a car around the same price with a bigger engine. But that's because I'm a petrolhead. In my eyes it's a car for people who just don't care.
Well I think that it looks really nice but they should leave this electric bs and put an old school v8-v10 in it and call it a day. Then BMW can also stop putting sound out of the speakers and begin to actually produce real sound from the exhaust
I have both an E26 M1 and an I8 Roadster - the roadster is a properly built light and on back roads properly fast car with its torque vectoring giving RS3/A45 levels of stability. By comparison the E26 is a beautiful but totally flawed fibreglass hotch potch of a car (by comparison to a 930 Porsche or even 308 fibreglass version) that feels a bit kit car as the Italians made a hash of the interior and ancillaries of the E26 M1.
@@PixelLabsMinecraft It's not like you can ignore traffic rules just because you didn't put anyone in danger. Besides, rolling or stop. Pick one, not both.
Well you drive electric all the time, which means your engine doesnt warm up. And then you go in sport and rev it up. Cold. A 3 cylinder. Im not an expert, but i think the engine may does not live that long. Especially with that much power from just 1.5 litres.
Isn't it a good practice to keep turbo engines running for a minute or 2 to cool before turning it off as well? You blast it full power and go back to EV mode right after. Will that affect the engine reliability?
You can put it in eco pro mode with hold state of charge mode, the battery will not drain and charge until full, engine will come on immediately and transmision will shift early to safe gas, and you'll warm up the engine.
Does this cost more than a model x ? Does it depreciate faster than a Tesla ? Do the doors change lift angle when opening next to closely parked cars ? Does it dance ? Is it at least faster?
I still don’t understand why they didn’t put a frunk in it, especially for the roadster. P.S I know there is a fan under there but I’ve seen videos where there is empty space under the bonnet
Gewiss imposantes Auto mit moderner u interessanter Technik/ Antrieb etc ! Aber wieso musste es unbedingt ein 3zyl mit 1.5l sein?? Mit einem 4 od 6 zyl mit 2l wäre es immer noch erstaunlich × interessant geblieben + es wär erst bei 280 kmh Schluss, was der Spektakularität keinen Abbruch tun würde u für den Preis auch sein darf! Würd mich ärgern,wenn mir ein Golf gti das Leben schwer machen kann bei der Stange Geld.... Aber naja, cool auch so, aber warum nt noch ne kleine Kirsche auf die große Portion Schlagsahne ?? I dont realy care ☝️☮😘🍀🌻
Never buy this, I had one for my work and every day a new issue... door issues, cooling system issue, .. + some very "cheap" parts inside too. A nice "concept" car but not for every day use.
bad design practice at door opening. there is absolutely no functional reasoning behind that design. it doesn't solve the problem where you have small space to open your door. even if they did it conventional way you could get out of the car at small spaces. with that design though, even if you could, you wont be able to.
Max - after watching this at least 20 times - you have persuaded me to get one. and am now the proud owner of one. simply awesome car. many thanks!
If you don’t mind, how are your first couple months if ownership?
Don’t drive it too fast, you’ll blow the speakers out.
Wow forza horizon 4 looks great

This car needs a combined output of at least 600hp.
SorenDFC its sexy as hell
SorenDFC Your taste is shit if you thinks its uglier than a Scoda.
Coming in the next i8 in 2022
nbc89 sure?
and BMW slapped u with a 3 cylinder
Very elegant car! The roadster version is even better than the coupe. And over 370 hp are really more than enough.
7:34 "It has lost some luggage space but it has gained a lot of coolness" :) :) :)
I actually like better with hood up.... but either way it's a special car.
Thanks for the sweet ride with a less than 2 cylinder sports jobby!
Your POV review's are always lit🔥
This car is incredible !
BMW, It's time to make a proper super car.
Like the M1?
imagine an i9 with a v12
edit: I mean a new bmw i9
Id love this fully electric with 350 hp and 500nm, more would be overkill for daily
This would a be a nice car for the collection. If I could own one of these I'd drive it till it had a million kilometres on the clock.
Max, altijd goed bezig!
720s spider does the roof in 11secs
With the 5 cylinder from an RS3 this thing would be mint
Or even an I6 n55 or other variant
Rs3 is so fugly though😂😂

I love the sound when he changed to sport mode
Yes, Bmw need to put in at least +400hp motor in this. Then we can talk.
Rather have an M3 Competition package any day of the week. It’s cheaper, faster and sounds better.
Yea but this one pulls more pussy
yea but this one pulls more dick too
Νot cheaper
One gets 13 mpg the other one gets 100
Idk the real numbers but you see my point
Seat position feels amazing. Would love to drive one of these.

When the battery is empty it is only a 3 cylinder. Time for a real V8 engine 🔥
FUN AND DRIVE oh no not another one of these comments
Fergus Brown for u a real BMW has 3 cylinder?
I agree, I don't like the fake sound coming out of the speakers. Time for a V8

The screens in that thing are TINY.

gotta ask, you do know what a stop sign means?
Go ahead and point out where him doing a rolling stop put anyone in danger
@@PixelLabsMinecraft It's not like you can ignore traffic rules just because you didn't put anyone in danger. Besides, rolling or stop. Pick one, not both.

Beautiful car. I wish they did it in FULL electronic mode. Still it's coming back. In 2023 they're relaunching it.
This aged well

Üljay Orcan the engine was warmed up before, tho I imagine if it were cold there would be a rev limit like in all the new M cars
Isn't it a good practice to keep turbo engines running for a minute or 2 to cool before turning it off as well? You blast it full power and go back to EV mode right after. Will that affect the engine reliability?
@@limenghean That's only if you don't have cooled turbos. Like trucks. Most modern turbo engines have cooled turbos so it doesn't matter anymore.
You can put it in eco pro mode with hold state of charge mode, the battery will not drain and charge until full, engine will come on immediately and transmision will shift early to safe gas, and you'll warm up the engine.

It’s very nice . I d like blue seats ,don’t like the copper.maybe black exterior.

The engine sounds in i8 Roadster is real or fake? Because in coupé it's fake.
There are not a lot of cars anymore in this class that don't augment the sound.
