This is hands down my favorite BMW! It's electrical, sporty and it looks awesome! I've only seen one i8 in real life so far, and I could just stare at it. That's how awesome the i8 is!
It is beautiful; but not the best looking BMW. BMW 6 series and 5 series are the most beautiful ones in my opinion. This comes third. But I respect your opinion.
Julio Pacheco There is something off about the rear end.. tail-lights or something.. don't really know . Maybe just need see it in person and in different colour. Striking design though :)
This car is amazing........ it gets great gas mileage and its fun as hell. My neighbor bought one and i had a ride. Iv been addicted to it ever since. I did not like this thing at first, but then I realized that its where the automotive industry is going. And tbh, I love it. This car will turn more heads than any other car, trust me. Take a ride in one someday and then make judgements. Dont judge too soon all you people who dont like it, its a great car in my opinion. Good job BMW
Probably one of the best looking cars ever made. If this body was fitted with a v8 engine or maybe a twin turbo v6 like the GTR, it would actually fun to drive and would be my new dream car. Im pretty sure I can speak for most car enthusiasts when I say we are not excited about 3-cyl and/or electric motors.
Excellent Video Kyle! I have to admit that this is one BMW, and hybrid for that matter, that I would most definitely drive. Its really cool to learn how they designed it from scratch and used all sorts of unique processes to make it!! Keep up the good work and I look forward to your next video!
I can't help feeling this is some sort of milestone for you. I mean the Bugatti, that was great but is kind of forgotten abit now don't hear about it as much as we used to. But this, to be able to review the most innovative and industry changing car at the moment must be a great moment for you.
+Danial Bun Sometimes you don't really have a choice in some urban city areas. He has a good point and It would defiantly be something to consider when looking to buy one.
+Demon50 how short sighted do people have to be to say, "I just would park next to anyone." Right...cause when you bought the i8 it came packaged with the world as well.
As usual, great car review. The Tesla P85 seems like a bargain given the price of the i8. I'd also add that I think the Tesla is just a better looking car.
Tejas Tasgaonkar Because both represent a new era in automotive technology. So the tesla is much quicker, more practical and cheaper than the BMW. That is why you would compare them.
who are those idiots who don't know the difference between a sports car and a solon? where do arseholes like you live? I bet everything you are american. "the volvo s80 seems like a bargain given the price of the porsche 911" that's basically what you said you fucking tesla fanboy. it's fun in your cult but stop speaking out loud what goes on in your head.
Let's compare, yes the Tesla is faster. Does it turn better, no. Does it handle better, no. Does it have even 10% of the features the i8 does, no. Does it predict road bumps and change the suspension so you don't feel them in comfort, no. Does it do both gas and electric, no. Does it get people to turn there heads, no. The auto driving? I8 can auto drive on the highway (To a limit) and traffic. It won't auto drive in normal streets, which is something Tesla has over it. For someone who wants both the sporty feel with tons of features while still being able to drive to work on electric, then yes the i8 would be a better car.
So now they call trim levels "worlds"? What is the world coming to, Super Mario for adults??? I'm not entering the 10.8K "pure impulse world" without my flying cape!
This has got to be a concept, it doesn't look like something that would be production. It looks way to futuristic for it to be 2014/15. Maybe in 10 or 20 years, but not now.
I mean im only for American cars, but the germans knocked this out of the ballpark, now if only Volkswagen could put forth this effort, they might be cooler, but no by much
I love these new electric cars, but for fucks sake why do u have to make the exhaust sound like your standard prius!?!?? If i want a fancy sports car i want that shit to be loud as hell
I like it. 4 second 0-60 and great mileage. 911 money. The future is here and performance cars will continue to be with us (fortunately). I still remember the doomsayers back during the first oil crisis lamenting the end of performance cars. Now you can get 70mpg, eco friendly and 12 second 1/4 miles all in one vehicle. Plus they are MUCH safer and more comfortable.
Hey Kyle, firstly I want to admit that I'm a big Fan of your channel! I love watching your videos! The only Problem is that some of your German Fans cannot understand everything because there are a lot of technical terms you're using. So I decided to take you as a rolemodel and opened my own channel dealing with cars in German. I just started a few days ago and uploaded two videos...next week I'll create 3 new ones. I'd really appreciate if you could watch my videos and tell me, what I could do better (although its in German...) Thanks a lot and have a nice day!
dad got one less than a month ago. we have no problems takin trips to Walmart with the doors being as they are. the trunk is pretty spacey too. he sometimes lets me drive it and by far way better than the Porsche 911 Turbo S we traded in for in I can tell you that.
Looks WAY better in person. Most people say it's ugly but once other manufactures start copying this design people start changing their minds, just like how Samsung released the note and people said it was too big and now everyone has copied it.
Dear Mr. Narrator of this fine video, you did a fine job introducing us to this car. Very detailed and it answered all of my question. But, your voice technique really needs work. Your fluctuating voice, with constant accents is over used. It makes you sound like you are some old time elixir salesman or somebody selling a sideshow act at the circus. I did find that you spoke clearly even though you spoke fast and had a lot to say in the 32+ minutes. For that, well done. Please, don't get offended, just lower your guard long enough to take some constructive criticism. I really enjoyed the detail of your review and would love to subscribe if this is what you have to offer, but there is no way I could listen to your narration long term. I will have to check back again. Thanks.
You really think he is going to take your random thoughts into consideration? over 500k subs, you really think he is going to change what he finds success in?
My wife said about the same thing. I just gave my opinion with zero expectations. I would hope that even successful people would be strong enough to take constructive criticism. I have read similar, but not as nice, criticism in the comments. But, hey, I wont lose any sleep over it. I expect defensiveness, but hope he is willing to consider some self examination. If not, the world will keep spinning.
I appreciate that your reviews all have the same format. If I'm short on time, I can skip ahead to what matters most to me and then go back later. I also appreciate the admiration you show all the automobiles being reviewed. I agree there are cool things about every car made. The BMW i8 is especially so.
It's official, BMW is off its meds. Who on earth is paying $150k for a three cylinder hybrid, no one, hence the auto trader is full of used I8 with 800 miles on the odo or obvious buyer remorse
+carlos hernandez The engine sound is "enhanced" through the stereo because I've heard Vespa Scooters with better exhaust note. Look it's quirky and unique with an overly complex(read expensive) drivetrain. Hardly an Ultimate Driving machine.

This is hands down my favorite BMW! It's electrical, sporty and it looks awesome! I've only seen one i8 in real life so far, and I could just stare at it. That's how awesome the i8 is!
i agree!
Great job finding a way to get this car reviewed, Kyle!
1blackone Thank you!!!
I love the noise it makes when it starts up for some reason it sounds so futuristic.
Beautiful desing, best of all BMW series
It is beautiful; but not the best looking BMW. BMW 6 series and 5 series are the most beautiful ones in my opinion. This comes third. But I respect your opinion.
Car info My favorite was the 6 series, but this design exceeded my expectations. However, to my everyday life would end choosing a 6 or 5 series :)
Julio Pacheco There is something off about the rear end.. tail-lights or something.. don't really know . Maybe just need see it in person and in different colour. Striking design though :)
BluWarta92 I´m sorry to tell you this, but if you look with a little bit of imagination you can see that it is giving birth to a Porsche 911 :s
Rasmus Widell OH GOD NOW I SEE IT AND IT CAN NOT BE UNSEEN HAHAHAHA :DD

Here before the xxx comments start popping in.
Dauge Yo I'm here because he sampled the BMW sounds for his Music.
Dauge Yo hi 😭
Everyone gangsta until jah rolls up the comments
I'm here mainly because of the epicest startup sound
It’s so annoying. Like who cares.
Probably one of the best looking cars ever made. If this body was fitted with a v8 engine or maybe a twin turbo v6 like the GTR, it would actually fun to drive and would be my new dream car. Im pretty sure I can speak for most car enthusiasts when I say we are not excited about 3-cyl and/or electric motors.

BMW i shows the future driving! Awesome.
The startup really does sound like the beginning of SAD!
Yeah he sampled it
Rocroo he sampled it
He took a sample and used it
it’s crazy this video was 6 years ago
I can't help feeling this is some sort of milestone for you. I mean the Bugatti, that was great but is kind of forgotten abit now don't hear about it as much as we used to. But this, to be able to review the most innovative and industry changing car at the moment must be a great moment for you.

Wait..
This car changed the automotive industry?

Unfortunately, ...yes
You are the best RUclipsr for me. Thank you for existing :)
Xxxxtentacion was murdered in one of these cars.
Rip xxxtentacion I will remember this car that x had
damn u beat me to it jonathan
that's the only reason I'm watching this video because I just found out on Instagram today
He sampled the startup sound for SAD
Did you know that x made sad off the car sound
I must say you give the best most in-depth and well thought out car reviews on youtube no wonder you have a million subscriptions keep it up.
all these people hating on this car but in reality they go to work on there honda civic 1990
Why can't people just be normal for once 🤦🏾♂️
Jazzy Jock because we can’t
What’s wrong with a 1990 Civic? 😂
Joe Hernandez everything
a pimp named Mdot
I will bet 100 euro that you have never driven an i8
That is the coolest start up sound ever made for a car
If I open my doors like that, all of my quarters would fall out
The way the slot is constructed, change would roll to the back of the door.
Toby Williams lol
Lol.
0-60 under 4 seconds, over 75mpg, superb fit and finish, Looks great.....I'm good!
Wait then I can't park close to cars and open my doors without hitting then. Oh wait I don't have to worry about that because I'm not getting the car
Why would you park this car next to any other cars in the first place?
+Danial Bun
Sometimes you don't really have a choice in some urban city areas. He has a good point and It would defiantly be something to consider when looking to buy one.
+Demon50 how short sighted do people have to be to say, "I just would park next to anyone." Right...cause when you bought the i8 it came packaged with the world as well.
+Daniel Bun Walmart?
+lucas2kpoa If you take a $100k car to Walmart you deserve to have it fucked with.
I've never seen such an exciting car get such a dull treatment.
that's an amazingly hightech car and beautiful too! thanks for the review
You make the best car review videos on RUclips.
i have $7..
I usually don't care for newer futuristic cars, but man I want this in my life!
I love how creative X was when he sampled the bmw start up and it’s sad because he was killed in his bmw
LLJ 🕊
i saw one of these driving in my neighborhood the other day, it was CRAZY, and amazing.
As usual, great car review. The Tesla P85 seems like a bargain given the price of the i8. I'd also add that I think the Tesla is just a better looking car.
This is a hybrid. Tesla is a pure electric. Why even compare?
also it is a full sized sedan
Tesla is a better looking car? lol,ok i got it...not even worth to discute with you..
Tejas Tasgaonkar Because both represent a new era in automotive technology. So the tesla is much quicker, more practical and cheaper than the BMW. That is why you would compare them.
who are those idiots who don't know the difference between a sports car and a solon? where do arseholes like you live? I bet everything you are american. "the volvo s80 seems like a bargain given the price of the porsche 911" that's basically what you said you fucking tesla fanboy. it's fun in your cult but stop speaking out loud what goes on in your head.
I like all of saabkyle's reviews but I think this my my favorite
I want this car so bad...
146,000 $
Evan Burke oh I know the price
try the Tesla... far better by far
+Pandroix exactly lol, why would people take a Tesla over this beast?
Let's compare, yes the Tesla is faster. Does it turn better, no. Does it handle better, no. Does it have even 10% of the features the i8 does, no. Does it predict road bumps and change the suspension so you don't feel them in comfort, no. Does it do both gas and electric, no. Does it get people to turn there heads, no.
The auto driving? I8 can auto drive on the highway (To a limit) and traffic. It won't auto drive in normal streets, which is something Tesla has over it.
For someone who wants both the sporty feel with tons of features while still being able to drive to work on electric, then yes the i8 would be a better car.
that's the best and most futuristic looking car I have ever seen.

I saw one of these driving about Glasgow last week, the fact it costs around £105,000 blew me away.
i got this car and it is amazing! i love to drive around with my friends! one time i let the girl of my dreams into the car until i woke up ):
Alex Bedoian vids or it didn't happen
If you still have the car dohyou ever buckle up anymore lmaoo
I just got a Porsche Mission E commercial; only ad I've ever intentionally sat through and clicked the link lol
Omfg for how much I want this beautiful German beast.
I found that it's a popular way to show you the most direct effect.
So now they call trim levels "worlds"? What is the world coming to, Super Mario for adults??? I'm not entering the 10.8K "pure impulse world" without my flying cape!
First saw this in mission impossible, and now it's actually releasing!
What mission impossible? Because the latest had only BMW M3
Who else loves that startup?
I need one just because of that startup sound.
SAD!
Psycho Lover duh
Psycho Lover you heard it tooo!!!! 😭
Yes 😭
Psycho Lover facts! RIP X
On the bright side, we’ll be able to recognize each other and all the other X fans if we get our hands on this car
i remember when they first showed the concept on auto show.i was SOOOO excited!
This has got to be a concept, it doesn't look like something that would be production. It looks way to futuristic for it to be 2014/15. Maybe in 10 or 20 years, but not now.
I know, but just looking at this thing, I cant believe it looks like this. it looks like a car that would of been in iRobot
countcomedy lol i KNow ... It blew my mind to see it on an actual road
I mean im only for American cars, but the germans knocked this out of the ballpark, now if only Volkswagen could put forth this effort, they might be cooler, but no by much
If you thought this was the concept, then imagine the actual concept of this car.Lol.
French montana bought one
Have been looking forward for it for a long time.
Bruh the seatbelt sound is the beat to SAD!
Modded Moon it is from sad and this car was made before that song
The chime*
Great review Kyle!!!! You sure do know your stuff! This is a truly fantastic car!
Sounds like my dad's generator
hehe
That start up sound when he doesn’t have the seatbelt on sounds unbelievably futuristic
Omg all you x fans. This is a car channel not talking about his death 🙄 Rip X but still
this car is INCREDIBLE. nuff said
I love these new electric cars, but for fucks sake why do u have to make the exhaust sound like your standard prius!?!?? If i want a fancy sports car i want that shit to be loud as hell
Maaz Sharief it's a eco hybrid with sporty styling not a sport/performance car.
True that
Its a three cylinder dude. The fact you can even hear it is a miracle
Dante Planeta ha, i wuld love to know which prius i could get to sound half as good as that.
It gas a smaller engine than a prius and it sounds beter then a prius also
That's like a piece of art! And the doors slam with a solid feel too!
I think BMW should have made this vehical a sedan because it is a verry beautiful car
Merdoc Avila ...so in other words you think they should have made it ugly
You’re shpheliing is therribhle
one of the coolest looking cars i ve ever seen
At 3:51, what is that old car sitting there?

Dear Mr. Narrator of this fine video, you did a fine job introducing us to this car. Very detailed and it answered all of my question. But, your voice technique really needs work. Your fluctuating voice, with constant accents is over used. It makes you sound like you are some old time elixir salesman or somebody selling a sideshow act at the circus. I did find that you spoke clearly even though you spoke fast and had a lot to say in the 32+ minutes. For that, well done.

91 octane? Are you kidding? We don't have anything below 93 in Europe. Not that it would make that much difference :P
P2nkzSB That was shocking when I drove the Gumball rally, our octane levels are so much lower haha. My charger RT runs on 87 :)

I guess thats why your gas is so much cheaper?
+P2nkzSB :) RON measurement is used in Europe, AKI (R+M)/2) - in the U.S. :)
RON 91=AKI 87
RON 95=AKI 91

Octane is measured differently in the US.
