BMW i8 "5 THINGS I LOVE" About This Car

Here is a quick video showing some things I really enjoy about the i8. The i8 was one of the first cars I reviewed on my channel to talk some crap about and I quickly realized that I enjoyed the car. Coming from a performance and racing background, something like the i8 on paper looked lame, but with more time I realized where the i8 falls in garages.
In this video we drove through Angels crest with my 2017 BMW i8 in Protonic Frozen Black. I go over 5 of my favorite features of the i8 and try and explain what makes the i8 actually a pretty fun car to own.
This car is completely stock.
Hope you guys enjoyed some of my favorite parts of the 2017 BMW i8.

Ray Syd, excellent video and portrayal of the i8. I bought one in September, 2020. It is a 2019 Roadster and like James says below, I'm love struck with this car. I've owned and driven a lot of different cars in my 66 years, but this one takes the cake. It's just so damn fun to drive and it's like 4 different cars. People who have never driven one won't ever get it, other than most of them are plussed with how she looks. Thanks for sharing your impressions!

I agree. I bought an i8 recently and I love it like a silly love struck teenager. :-)

Congrats man, I'm really trying to figure out how to convey how dope the car is in videos

[@James-yd8tg]

@@raysyd5643 You almost can't. People have to drive it to understand it and what it's all about. It's not just about 0-60, which BTW is respectable, or 1/4 mile times. It's about forward thinking. Thinking outside the box. Proving an idea works. Outrageous real world MPG figures. Driving around town in pure electric enjoying the quiet serenity. And so much more. It's about what the future could become........

@@James-yd8tg Honestly I agree with all of that, but at the end of the day everyone says the car is slow, it really isn't slow.

Thinking of purchasing one , I know the market is crazy rn but how do you think I8s will be price wise in 10 months. Could they be more since they are discontinued and only getting rarer and rarer. Or do you think it’ll drop I rented one and loved it. Looking to spend 75k

[@kelechiaguocha1]

Can grab one for £35,000 in the Uk 🇬🇧

Someday... 🤞

[@raysyd5643]

I'm sure they'll keep dropping in price. Just make sure you don't get a frozen black one or you'll be dealing with a lot of paint issues if you ever have to repair damages.

[@daudshakiradnan2212]

@@_kanuyu so why u talking shit? I mean u never drove the car

[@raysyd5643]

Ya makes sense, I rented one to talk about how shitty the car is and how it sounds like a lawnmower. I drove it for a few days and now I own one. Drive one if you get the chance.
