As a long time i8 owner this car is far from a bargain without a warranty. As this car would have cost me over £25,000 in terms of repairs when the electric motor and wiring loom failed. A headlight on this car if you have the laser lights in the UK is £13,000 each. Be careful it was £120k new. It is still super car prices to fix and only BMW can work on it as they locked the service manual now.
it is a budget supercar. according to reviews made by reputable auto journalists it is fast enough, handles well and is very fun to drive. weight is especially good for a hybrid and lighter than current bmw m models, even m2. even without the boost from the electric motor it has good pace. it also has a proper sports car platform and seating position. you have good fuel economy and low engine maintenance costs compared to cars that have 6 cylinder or more. the problem is people buying cars in this category can afford to pay more for a better car like Ferrari 296 or Porsche 911, 718 gt4.
I used to work at an exotic car place driven a lot of cars and this was definitely one of the worst cars I’ve driven and I love bmw. Great for gas though I guess if u want a unique daily
Die anderen Hersteller machen das nicht auch so übersichtlich wie polestar, weil die meisten einfach nicht so große Displays haben wie polestar. Warum sind die Displays aller deutschen Hersteller so winzig? BMW hat die beste Software und Assistenz aber die Displays sind einfach viel zu klein.
Even IF you can afford to BUY a used i8, you better have on hand anywhere from $10k-$20k in liquidable savings to account for maintenance and repairs annually. It is EXTREMELY expensive to repair, both parts and labor and is estimated that annual ownership costs range from $10k and up. Furthermore, be ready to be without your i8 anywhere from 1-6 months or more while you wait for parts and the repair to be completed. This is because ALL i8 parts must come from Germany and are seldom, if ever, in the States and only Certified BMW/ iElectric technicians can touch these vehicles. To make matters worse, most dealership service departments only have 1 or 2 iElectric certified techs on staff. This means there’s a waiting list to have your i8 repair completed. Take it elsewhere? Nope. BMW will NOT sell replacement parts to any non BMW certified mechanic and even if they did, damn near every part on this vehicle has to be programmed by BMW. I’ve had my 2017 since 2019 and I can say that it will undoubtedly have issues regardless of how much you drive it and those issues will have you out of a car for long periods of time, so hopefully, this won’t be your only vehicle and daily driver. Good luck.

BMW doesn’t always have a loaner available. Especially here in Atlanta. Also, the loaners are only temporary. For extended repairs you generally have to rent a car.
@@cozmikdrip1859 Compared to other BMW’s I’ve owned (M6 and multiple 7 series) maybe they are if you don’t daily drive them but when they do break down they are far more expensive and take forever to repair.
Bro people don't realize wraps only last about a year or two before they start peeling falling off and crumbling away. And for the same price you can get a nice ass paint job that will last for ever with all the ceramic technology we have today
Wrap last at least 5 years if you use proper wrap and you take care of it. If wrap destroyed clear coating it means the wrap was shit quality... 3-3.5k should be done in best wrap available which will last 5 years easy.
He probably meant that for a car that looks like that its pretty cheap, and if you really want a job where you need more expensive cars, be a plumber or construction worker cause pickup trucks cost hundreds of thousands.
Gotta love when people buy cars, destroy them with a wrap, and then sell them quickly. It’s just an endless cycle of ruining cars. Same with the people that put shitty mods on perfectly fine cars.
Bruh it’s a wrap what do you mean destroying a car by wrapping it. If you don’t like it you can just get a heat gun and pull it off in a few hours, it’s literally just like a big ass sticker😂 Mad you can’t afford to wrap your own ride or what?
You bought the car for $60k, spent $6 on it, and sold for $68k - however you took a loan out for the car (let's say your credit score is excellent) which would be an average interest rate of 9.1% at the very lowest - that takes the price of the car plus repairs to $71,460, meaning a loss of $3,460, no?
I would never buy that car. I owned a BMW 760 li . The day of me buying my car. I seen the BMW i8 on the same lot.And was thinking about buying it. The hassle of get in and out of that car . Was just too much for me to deal with . So I passed on the car. And got the 760

I get the i8 is a slow sports car for it’s price and for the term “super car” But how do you make the leap to saying your Tacoma is somehow a more powerful car?
Bro made 2k and lost about 3k to inflation and he also has to pay interest for his loan 😂 you didn't "gain" bro but driving a nice car for 2 years and paying under 10k for it (inflation and loan interest) is not bad

Why did u sell after only one year
I like how he says $60 000 like its nothing. In my currency of rands $60 000 is equivalent to R 1 020 000.
Its a million expensive.
well yeah but this car originally went for $100k
Buckle up baby r5 currency will be worth just as much as usd in a few years.
I was saying the same thing😕
Just work hard to get it im also south african im playing on buying this next year with cash 💼🛠️
60k is nothing for a car… if I can spend 60k on a car, I would have bought 3 of those

Only person ever to resell a BMW for more than purchase price as BMWs usually lose their worth at astronomical levels!
Damn dats a nice car
It's dream bro, because of xxxtentacion 😊 i miss him so much btw how much kost in America now 2nd ownership ❤️😊
Biggest challenge is getting inside the car 💀
how
No, getting in is actually pretty easy. The hard part is getting out.
For a 1.5 L. 3 cylinder engine twin turbo, it sounds like you only paid for the turbo and the name. Price is a little too high for those specs.
