[@loucostabile]

Hi Gabriel Patrick, Happy to read this is your "dream car" :-) Hope you're behind the wheel of a car like this soon, Lou

[@DwainDwight]

Really incredible car. I've driven a regular coupe and they are next level. It's about the only new car I would consider owning.

Hi D Wnright, Thank you for viewing and sharing your 1st hand knowledge, Lou

[@cardon905]

I love the title Lou! The engine sound of the i8 is just classic

[@loucostabile]

Hi Car Don, Good one :-) Yeah that electric motor can really sound peaceful :-) Clearly the combustion piece. Lou

Spending about $175,000.00 + tax/license to save $250.00 annually in gas doesn't make cents.

Hi Terrance P. Urbanis, You have a good point. Lou

Dang that's a very nice BMW even though I'm not a BMW fan it's still nice to look and probably fun to drive. Lou just of curiosity did you see the price which I'm sure is over $200k?

[@loucostabile]

Hi Pete Medina, I recall $175K, Lou

[@petemedina8446]

@@loucostabile Alrighty sounds a little under priced to me for such a fancy car thank you.

[@DwainDwight]

Nice one Lou. Have one! such an awesome car. Thanks for sharing this modern classic.

[@loucostabile]

Hi D Wnright, Happy to read you enjoy the details of this car :-) I would need a few more Subscribers before I could have this one. Glad you enjoy this "modern classic: and you're welcome, Lou

Sweet technology demonstrator. This was never intended to be a mass production vehicle. The amount of engineering and technology and quality put into them is why they cost what they do. In my opinion, this competes with an NSX buyer demographic. Latest technology hybrid powertrains, but the BMW i8 seems to have the higher quality standard interior. I would likely buy an NSX. They are about the same price.

Hi William Levy, Thank you for viewing and sharing your thoughts, Lou

[@allanrobbins5584]

In addition to the $250 a year you save in gas, you can save even more by taking your i8 on every shopping trip. The trunk is so small you can’t buy much LOL

[@loucostabile]

Hi Allan, Good point ! :-) Lou

[@Underappreciatedclassics]

Trivia fact for you guys, the I-8 came out in 2017, however the I-8 was in development all the way back in 2008, I was watching the Detroit automotive show on tv, and saw the I-8 concept on tv, and the ceo at bmw called it BMW Intelidrive model 8, and Tesla just came out and one of the people who interviewed the ceo said when will this car come to show rooms? And he said we don’t know but we hope for 2017-2019, but at this time as you can see the technology for hybrid cars are still in just the developmental stages with the Honda Insight and Toyota Prius only being a few years old at best, and then the Tesla S model was just in development at the time; so they said to save there reputation and the health of the I series cars they purposely delayed it until a few years later, and the X-1 came out in 2014 just a year or two years before the I-8 did..

A triple WOW car for sure! But the triple WOW sticker price is more than my house is worth. Won’t see any of these in this neighborhood. Very much a status symbol, because you can buy cars that do more for a LOT less cash. There’s a lot of cars that get 50 mpg out there now, and a new Corvette can be had for about a third of what this thing costs. I don’t think my local mechanic could work on this thing either!! Lou, you should stick to collector, classic and muscle cars.

[@loucostabile]

High praise with "triple WOW" :-)

[@Aaron.Monroe]

Good video

[@loucostabile]

Thank you Aaron Monroe :-) Hope you see many more cars on this KZbin Channel you'll enjoy, Lou

[@AndrewGraham07]

Plenty of these on the roads in the Bavaria, but seriously, supercars have V8s or V12s under the hood...

[@loucostabile]

Hi Andrew Graham, I like the V8 & V12 idea :-) Lou

[@rays7437]

I would rather buy a new Mustang, new Ranger, Fusion hybrid, and new F250 for the same price and with all the same technology. But nice car!

Terrence is correct. It is incredulous that a person would spend $175K caring that over the next five years they would save $250. This video is out of place on My Car Story.

Kereta ini cantik. I berniat untuk membelinya tetapi kenapa bumbungnya dari fabrik. Bolehkah ditukar ganti bumbungnya? Itulah puncanya TAK JADI beli. Keselamatan keteta jadi tidak TERJAMIN...he9

[@loucostabile]

I need some help on the interpretation, and I hope you like it :-)

[@markdrukenbrod9475]

So who did BMW build this car for? (Or the hardtop i8,for that matter.) It's far too sporty and impractical for the environmental buyer, No good for the +60 country club set (difficult ingress/egress, no room for clubs), and doesn't really qualify as a supercar by normal performance metrics. I hope it finds a market, but I can't help fearing that it will depreciate quicker than your aunt Marge's Nissan Maxima.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Mark Drukenbrod, Thank you for viewing and sharing your thoughts on this car, and Aunt's car too :-) Lou

*I've heard old VW bugs that sound better than that!* Not impressed at all.

Hi Lance Vette, Thank you for making me laugh out loud :-) Clearly this one is not for you :-( Hope you see many more cars on this KZbin Channel you'll enjoy...like the sound of this VW, well kinda a VW :-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/lai1XoqKhJefqLc

@@loucostabile I've owned several new BMW's and had nothing but problems with them. If you just Have to have a BMW, get one through a lease or sell it before the warranty expires. Even then, they're still a troublesome time consuming nightmare. The 2019 BMW i8 Roadster is a beautiful car, but Honestly, I would enjoy a 1966 VW bug more than that overpriced aggravation. Have yourself a great day Lou Costabile and thank you for your response.
