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!

[@Bahle_Gaji]

If you don’t mind, how are your first couple months if ownership?

[@voss1019]

Don’t drive it too fast, you’ll blow the speakers out.

[@markbrix9385]

Very elegant car! The roadster version is even better than the coupe. And over 370 hp are really more than enough.

[@Zlaterrr]

This car needs a combined output of at least 600hp.

[@carlosordonez5156]

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.

[@Jo_Wardy]

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.

[@mdahad5438]

BMW, It's time to make a proper super car.

[@unrealeck]

Like the M1?

[@Valtryox]

imagine an i9 with a v12 edit: I mean a new bmw i9

[@andersdose7038]

Yes, Bmw need to put in at least +400hp motor in this. Then we can talk.

[@otisbertrand7289]

This car is incredible !

[@Baerchenization]

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.

[@paulthorpe766]

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

[@ronrod992]

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?

[@Adam-eo5ff]

With the 5 cylinder from an RS3 this thing would be mint

[@RK1FX]

Or even an I6 n55 or other variant

[@ironfist9104]

Rs3 is so fugly though😂😂

[@audirs142]

Rather have an M3 Competition package any day of the week. It’s cheaper, faster and sounds better.

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

[@Longjupitor]

[@FUNANDDRIVEPL]

When the battery is empty it is only a 3 cylinder. Time for a real V8 engine 🔥

[@clutched77]

FUN AND DRIVE oh no not another one of these comments

[@FUNANDDRIVEPL]

Fergus Brown for u a real BMW has 3 cylinder?

[@jordikorthals003]

I agree, I don't like the fake sound coming out of the speakers. Time for a V8

[@clutched77]

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.

[@jordikorthals003]

@@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.

[@dickyboyryw]

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

[@BenjaminWinrow]

This aged well

[@ttyy-bl4gz]

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

hey Max I love your videos bro 😀😀😀😀😍😀

[@mariusmars8479]

Max, altijd goed bezig!

[@yehyaqasem4744]

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

[@kolotoure5422]

Omar Qasem it's not fast enough for the price either

[@djremotion2]

Nah, newschool NA V10 with 9000rpm redline.

[@HumptyDumptyActual]

The engine sounds in i8 Roadster is real or fake? Because in coupé it's fake.

[@ErnestoFavor76]

There are not a lot of cars anymore in this class that don't augment the sound.

[@uljayorcan7242]

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.

[@clutched77]

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

[@limenghean]

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?

[@Adam-eo5ff]

@@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.

[@ErnestoFavor76]

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.

[@Kronos0999]

The color looks sick.

[@Kronos0999]

Looks like sick too, lol.

[@BENKYism]

Not to hate on the i8 but BMW should've recreated the M1 instead

[@paulthorpe766]

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.

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.
