Watching in 2019 for the best review...and finally i got the One.

[@p4rvussy101]

@@nh8529 bruh why would I be jealous , i got a better car than a bmw i8 lmao . and those who got stuff don’t tell if they got one on the net . One thing i learnt a long time ago by seeing all these fake flexers . They shut up when i give them my Instagram @ 😂😂😂

[@Raytenk]

finally... a good walkthrough about this car

[@MotorcarFile]

Thank you !!

[@jaetok]

I'm noticing in future cars, everything as far as interior. Everything in front of the driver is slightly slanted directly towards the driver. Giving you an easy less stressful peripheral look. Almost helping with operation of everything without every really turning your head but just using your eyelids only. Just so much high key efficiency. Truly beautiful.

[@z28camaro79]

Personally I am a fan of unique, jarring designs like this. 15-20 years ago this is how I imagined cars would look in 2014. The i8 is a stunning BMW I would love to own. Sucks we don't get the laser headlights in the U.S. Great review.

[@GXTI_14]

Just copped one for 50k best car i have ever purchased hands down!

[@LegendRonk]

Damn that's a steal, there's one for 60k in my area

[@DarkRendition]

I just got a blue one, it's a staggering vehicle and the doors fit surprisingly well in the garage. Its incredibly quiet (when you want) and very supple over the broken roads of NY. The immediacy of acceleration is amazing as to inspire plenty of confidence.

[@magwheel]

Thank you for the excellent review. I just bought my i8 about 2 weeks ago and because of the crazy Ohio weather, I haven't been able to take it out on the road yet. I got the Crystal White with the Pure Package. It's a beautiful car and I can't wait to drive it once the snow melts or the ice is off the roads. Thanks again!

[@MotorcarFile]

Hey thanks for commenting! Coming from someone that just bought one that is an incredible compliment thank you! We are very close friends with the owner of the i8 featured here which he has owned now for about 2 months and still enjoys every chance he gets to drive it.

[@hassanhenry5358]

Your reviews are the best, almost NO ONE in the comments is fighting and bickering over ridiculous things here! :D

[@MotorcarFile]

Hassan, so far it seems pretty civil LoL however we try to moderate to keep things friendly for everyone!

[@hassanhenry5358]

Hoep it works.

Reviews are awesome I like your AP btw

[@lipinglin1994]

since the side doors open to maximum, will it be inconvenient for drivers to get out in a small parking space in between cars?

[@MotorcarFile]

For more details about specifications, corrections, performance, and pricing please read the full description in the video details! Thanks!

[@journeytrials]

One day I will own this car!!

[@jonathanhankins8356]

Go pick one up... since you wrote this comment, a 2014 I8 has gone from $155k+ to like 70 grand.

[@LOADDABOWL]

Jonathan Hankins you think it’ll keep going down or what?

[@jonathanhankins8356]

Zigphy Of course... but that's not the kind of car ai think you would want to own with high milage. You can find them with under 20k miles right now though, selling for 1/2 of original sticker price.

[@josecalderon3047]

yo dude why do those car loose so much value over a few years

[@anointingempire5801]

Have u own the car?

[@scdork]

That thing is beautiful. And, at that price, it's a freaking BARGAIN. Slap Ferrari or Lamborghini emblems on it and it could easily fetch 200k.... 76 - 135 MPG AND 0-60 in 3.8 seconds? Damn.

[@SilverSeakid]

Lol it doesn't need a ferrari or lambo emblem anymore to be around the price range. Go check ebay

[@scdork]

SilverSeakid Yeah, I figured that would happen. There is a guy who want's 175K for his with the "Tera World" Package. I Google "Tera World" and nothing BMW related came up. Quite the interesting vehicle. Can't find definitive info. as to it being a limited run or if they will build as many as people want. This is going to be a car to watch, that's for sure.

[@scdork]

Shawn Czerwinski I love the car, but... For $175k... An i3 and a used GT-R would be in my driveway...

[@SilverSeakid]

Shawn Czerwinski The i8 is available in 4 different BMW i-World trims: Mega, Giga, Tera and the Pure Impulse level(in that order). Starting from Mega which is the level for the base model of the car, whereas the next level i.e. the Giga will include the addition of LED headlights and taillights, 20-inch turbine wheels with an option of choosing between black or white interiors. Coming to the third level of the Tera level, in this level the car will include upgrade features of Mega level along with an elite brown interior and also a “BMW i blue” seatbelt . The final or the superior level i.e. Pure Impulse level will be available with a carum spice grey perforated leather interior and an anthracite headliner.

[@nicksmith8506]

Congrats for your aweosome review! Keep it up 👍

[@MotorcarFile]

Thanks!!

[@astropilotred]

Georgeous joints of the door panel with hippie feel material and carbon that feels really rigid.... Georgeous .....

[@lancerosendale1869]

The cars around 50k$ now can't wait to get my hands on one!!

[@kssd71]

was pretty cool to see you are right around the corner from me..... what an amazing car. i would have liked to have seen what was under the hood in the front.

[@MotorcarFile]

It does not open there is a procedure you have to go through to open it that is generally taught to the technicians. There is a video I believe that shows the process but there is nothing to see really, it is just access to the electric motor for service otherwise the front hood is permanently closed.

[@kssd71]

Ooohhh. Gotcha! Thx

[@SilverSeakid]

Motorcar File Wow, I thought BMW was out of control when they removed the dipstick from the BMW E90, but now this?

[@zafernarmanoglu256]

SilverSeakid

[@THEfromkentucky]

So, they went back to body-on-frame design?

[@worldisawesome6789]

If you had to choose between i8 and m3 f80.. which you pick?

[@freeman3320]

Great Review !!!!

[@dhvf134]

I love that it is electric and some sound of it is pumped out of the speakers

[@Aryajet]

BMW bought an entire Carbon-Fiber parts production facility just to build this car, just to start begging people to buy it. Won't take long befor we see huge manufacturer incentive. i8 hit the showrooms about a decade too early, it is a future car

[@SkyyisBack]

I love your work.

[@MotorcarFile]

Thank you !!

[@maxsujit9926]

BMW i8 awesome looks like future car.

[@madelinenelson5290]

A cool Spaceship..Great Features.. I'm gonna love it

[@xtlmad]

great review and this car is a true yardstick for the industry. Same s P1, laferrari and 918, but costin a tenth of them.

[@MotorcarFile]

Thank you so much Christophe, we are anxious to start reviewing again!

[@semaisking]

You should've shown us the engine behind that plastic cover in the trunk. Other than that awesome review as always! Cheers.

[@MotorcarFile]

Thanks!! We would have loved to have shown the engine to everyone but BMW has made it where only BMW technicians can access it ...

[@hatiboy]

Motorcar File can it be reliable?

[@henryskyy5123]

Great review,maybe the best i´ve ever seen,and not only because of this wunderbar uber-car. Very informative,full of passion and a pleasant voice. Keep on making reviews!

[@MotorcarFile]

Henry Skyy Thank you so much we are filming again during Summer!

[@FilipeFerro]

I would change the front a little bit... like the headlights and the hood seam

[@mikkeljan]

Clever engineering!!

[@CoolColJ]

Sounds pretty good for a 3 potter! has a v6, v12 type sound :)

[@MotorcarFile]

CoolColJ It does sound cool but keep in mind it is digitized sound coming from the cabin audio system.... :)

[@GetItDarker707]

IMO the blue accents make the car look cheesy aside from that minor cosmetic fix, its absolutely a beautiful design

[@matlyncrane8367]

Xxxtentacions “sad “ as the seat belt noise ❤️

[@Berserk1701]

Does the car charge itself when drivibg or do you need to stop and charge it? Also if battery low still drivable? Anyone know?

[@deathrunc9904]

Very nice video with lots of details.

[@MotorcarFile]

Thanks!!!

[@Sebas6963]

tis I8 is nice with it price, I just wondering how can the door open if there is two car parking side by side near him

[@Xburnerfy]

Easy. Just buy every car park you come across and have the cars on your left and right taken off your property.

[@The69cool69]

Great car, great review.

[@MotorcarFile]

james mccool Thanks James!

[@rrrr9783]

It would be great if you could show us how the car will look like at night with the lights and blinkers on, I know it's useless but imagine how stunning it'll look like! Oh and this goes to all the car reviews

[@MotorcarFile]

We feel the same way however our exclusive supporters only allot a certain period of time for us to use the cars. When we do have cars over night we do that, as in the case of our S550 review.

[@bmtsrparts3975]

[@DwainDwight]

such an awesome car. want one of these for sure.

[@243wayne1]

Another great review on a very interesting and cutting edge automobile, and an even nicer stainless steel silver dial with stick markers Audemars Piguet on your wrist today... Thank you for both. I am as enthused as you are in your videos! I feel as if I am in the driver seat... Beware Saabkyle... Motorcar File is drafting off of your rear wing, and it's tires are fresh on the LAST LAP! PS. You'd better not have sold your Rolex Ceramic GMT...

[@rfacavalheiro]

Perfect review!

[@MotorcarFile]

Thank you so much!!!

[@Hikarmeme]

Does this have to have both gas and charge for it to work?

[@MotorcarFile]

Hikari No you can drive it with only gas if the batteries were not charged....

[@Hikarmeme]

Motorcar File alright good, i was thinking of getting one someday but i wouldn't want to if i had to pay for both gas and charge

[@runakorose3722]

that amazing dream car

[@hiddenemperor653]

Man you talk about the features on the cars at night, you should honestly do a night and day shot of the things like the LED's at night, same with the RR with ethe starlights at night. Great review anyways!

[@riverbenddrummer]

ahh that thing sounds so good

[@MiamiElite777]

When will we see any of these car manufactures with a Lamborghini style transmission. Aside of the Suicide doors, what makes it unique is the paddle shifter only option. I love not having the damn shift stick in the center on the console. Makes it look cheap. Not even the Stingray or GTR have sequential transmissions

[@jonathanhankins8356]

It's crazy that there was such a premium on this car when it came out, and now you can get them for 70 grand...

[@CambodiaShareFeeds]

does the engine make the trunk hot?

[@hussilveridico3002]
