Believe it or not the lease on our BMW i8 is running out. We've had it for 3 years now and proudly accumulated 40,000 miles from road trips to other states, commuting to work, and just heading to the grocery store. We have enjoyed the hell out of it but it hasn't been without its own issues. Here's a sum up of the good, the bad, and the ugly from our ownership of the BMW i8.
Enjoy!
Thanks for all your support so far. Your comments, views, and likes light a fire under my butt to always improve and bring you these videos.
Oh and if you haven't already, SUBSCRIBE! ;)
Cheers,

I think ppl are disappointed or hating on the i8 because they expect it to be a sports and it isn't. It's a grand-touring car for cruising along on the interstate. The quick acceleration is a bonus and the good/great gas mileage is a double bonus. Just gotta set your expectations and it can be satisfying.

so, I take it you aren't gonna buyout the i8 after the lease? I'm not gonna go find all of the other videos you did on this car, so what has it gone to the dealer for other than routine service? How long did it sit at the dealer to get fixed? What would have been the cost(s) of said fixes if out of warranty? Will the i8 make a good 2nd or 3rd owner car 5 or 6 years down the road? Since you seem to be into Hybrid "supercars", why not seek out the new NSX. Similar concept, but with only 2 seats and report back with the differences btwn it and the i8. And since your leasing it anyways, no biggie, right?

Interesting review. Is the leather Dakota or Merlino grade? I notice that you do not seem to retract your seat all the way back on its track before exiting or entering. That promotes the bolster wear your are experiencing on any BMW with M Sport seating. Interesting you did not comment on the 6AT. 8 speed would be super nice. So would version 7 of iDrive. I do appreciate the space behind the front seats that is abolished when the roadster is chosen. 911 do not have much,nor do Hurracan. Your next renter? For more commodious space for only two, the Portfino. For an alternative hybrid with even less storage space but more emotion, the Acura NSX.

Sexy, fast (but drivable), and everyone whether I know them or not wants to take pictures with it. For a guy this would totally be a chick magnet. The interior is so comfortable and like he said, everything is very accessible. I found an easy way to get in and out of the car so that’s not an issue. When you say ‘touring,’ this automobile is the epitome of touring. You want to go on a long trip in this vehicle. I think the good far outweigh the bad. Plenty of fahrfegnugen! Try it out! It’s a hell of a lot of fun and will stay in my arsenal for years to come!

Definitely not a daily driver. I love mine. It does attract attention. It is before its time. Discouraged by the loss in value over time. If I had to decide whether to buy or not, would have wait knowing what I know now. I can handle the chore of getting in and out of the i8. If you wear new jeans, they will leave a blue stain on the white leather. Was able to remove the stain only by using Chemical Guys Inner Clean. I love the thrill of driving the i8, and will be in my garage for a very long time. I am a former Toyota Supra owner (4 different models) and BMW 650i owner.

Depending upon operating climate; and perhaps more importantly conditions in which the vehicle is parked/stored... I've seen very few BMW i8s that do not have the same exact seat issues. But it get worse; I've seen such issues at just over one year old; with very light driving. I'll update this posting soon. Some people have managed to get their seats repaired or replaced through the dealership where they got the vehicle. In some remote cases (depending upon when the issues was reported in and also mileage) BMW has actually done a few zero cost replacements and also items where they send the owner a check - for the owner to figure out what to do next.. The post will be updated with the dealer cost of replacing the seats. Take a wild guess what that one will go for. Hoping any lease uses got the additional lease insurance - otherwise they are looking at quite a few thousands in repairs

@@antoniogriffin7135 honestly i did have to take it to the dealership for multiple different technological issues. But so far they were all just small computer malfunctions. Although irritating i still like the car. I just don't reccomend anyone buy one passed its warranty period. I did have to get new brakes and new tires. Which were pretty pricey. Brake job came up to around 2400. And the tires i dont remember exactly but i wanna say i paid around 1200 or so
