BMW i8 | City Car or Supercar?

[@AdamLeask]

Not normally a fan of colour-coded wheels, but this thing looks epic!

[@lejink]

I do like that colour scheme

[@DwainDwight]

I think it's actually more of a GT - excellent for road trips. but also you can daily drive it too. I love mine. simply awesome. sold the 599

[@s00perflab]

Always excited when I see a new Roads Untraveled video up.

[@RoadsUntraveled]

:D

[@Princess_Tronston]

That car looks absolutely wicked! Great video as always!

[@TarikTJS]

I was surprised to see this car being covered by Roads Untraveled, but it is a happy surprise. Maybe, this is your best feature so far, although it would have been nice if you’d known the specs about the car for sure upfront (now you were hesitating every now and then). The review part of this car, adds a different flavor to the coverage. The way you describe the car while driving it, is such a nice visual that I understand - sitting at home - how the car would feel when I would be in it! That combined with the incredible - almost advertising-like - video footage, makes this an awesome video! I have seen the BMW i8 only once in person and I fell in love with the design instantly. But I thought like, yeah it's a nice gimmick, but it's all electric… knowing now that it is a hybrid makes it so much different. The best of both worlds.

[@masons6062]

only 60k subscribers? this is so odd. seems like it would be a popular channel with all the editing and cars

[@leungkwongyu]

yeah i really love this channel so underrated

[@ntricarico87]

Yeahhhh lets get it!!! I love the variety on this channel, keeps me coming back for more!

[@Gorzon567]

[@WelshyAutomotive]

Don't ever change! This channel is perfect.

[@olivershearer3034]

Loving your reviews mate, really such a good channel :D

[@zakarydixon]

You guys are awesome. Keep up the good work.

[@valdoskim497]

you guys have been putting in music that I love and know and I'm like ayyyyyyyy that's lit plus some sick ass cars. keep up the work!

[@rabidrabbittt]

Deep and throaty, not deepthroaty. those are two VERY different sounds

[@RoadsUntraveled]

"kind of a deep, throaty growl." But yes, definitely two different sounds when you skew my words ;)

[@emeraldages]

I mean the sound is fake lol.. That's a 3 cylinder it does absolutely not make that sound.

[@RoadsUntraveled]

We drove a car with doors that go up!! My life is complete. - Marcus Follow us on Instagram and Facebook!! @roadsuntraveled

[@Andres-a-moore]

That's a beautiful car, I've never seen one in person. You're lucky!!

[@willherbtherealwill8165]

don't be a sellout B

[@StirlingMossDrives]

[@luismichael256]

Murcas I love your channel man I want this channel be successful and all I want is more cars to show and more videos near future

[@kentmaf]

We bought one and we Love It !!! At car shows and on the road, people be taking pictures

[@DrivenByLJ]

Love this channel, so underrated, would love to see the R33 done as the other GTRs you've done are beasts

[@RoadsUntraveled]

Thanks! :D The R33 GTR is one of my favourites, we'll try and film one ASAP

[@DrivenByLJ]

+Roads Untraveled no problem :D and yeah, after seeing your R32 vid, ive gone GTR mad and just had so many ideas of what I may do if I get the money together to do one up, thought about the R33 but haven't seen a thorough video on it necessarily, I'm sure your review will be quality👍🏼

[@moostang09]

I have always loved the i8's and that color combo is just ah, SO GOOD!!!! Great video gents!

[@RoadsUntraveled]

Thanks! And yes, the color combo is definitely unique

[@IRONHIDE110]

7:23 --------> " Shining sun how good, past these thousand stars, we have come this far, who we are is just a dream " I believe it's a no copyright song, reason why I can't seem to find it :(

[@ardian7699]

İ discovered this channel about a week ago and i must say you guys are really awsome the content in the videos are there the cars and more. İ hope you understanded what i was trying to say :D. Hope for more!

[@RoadsUntraveled]

Thank you! :D

[@rjkeefe8975]

Marcus, I love the videos and reviews. love the music also. everything you said about the I8 is on point. I work on them in the body shop at a BMW/Mini Cooper/Rolls Royce processing plant in southeast Georgia. all brand new cars fresh from Germany/South Africa. people have to drive them to know the experience. the sound and smooth acceleration is absolutely surprising! my favorite to drive is the 2016 m3 even though we have the m4, m5,m6, Alpina b6, Alpina b7, I8, and every other BMW/Mini Cooper you can imagine. the John Cooper works Cooper s is a blast to drive to. but enough of my rambling. awesome videos! keep it up!

[@DoctaM3]

@RoadsUntraveled just found your channel. Not sure how it escaped me this long. Great review. Nice job. I love the i8. Take a look at mine.

[@RoadsUntraveled]

Hey! Glad you found our channel haha. We've seen your i8 before and have watched a few of your videos, too. Thanks for the positive feedback, we appreciate it.

[@DoctaM3]

Anytime. Where are you guys based?

[@MrCashMoneyD18]

Another great video. Good Job!

[@oprikawize]

excellent review! where do you get your music from? you've got the best music on KZbin!

[@kirayamato202]

love that colour scheme.. makes me want to get bmw i8 for my self

[@dashcamcalifornia5003]

beautiful car. love the custom job on this. the green highlights look sick. I'm spoiled in LA see them everywhere. thanks for the review, you guys do a great job at keeping it different.

[@bobsagit10]

Tbh it seems like you have way more than 60k! Your quality exceeds your fan base rn! Good work!! If you ever come down to Portland Oregon Ik a lot of Volvos for you to review 😂

[@griffsrearmountturbothemod1623]

cars of the future mimicking the sounds of the past wow how exciting.

[@theanonymousone9668]

would be nice to mention any modifications that are done to the cars that you review, because that is NOT A stock color you can choose, the color accents anywhere except on the skirts are NOT stock, as neither are the wheels. This is important information when reviewing any vehicle.

[@atascha1914]

I wanna know how you guys made it over that metal pip sticking out at whiterock boat launch.

[@RoadsUntraveled]

Just barely! But it made it lol. Took two spotters almost lying on the ground to make sure it made it over!

[@MilliMac.]

Both i Love this car so much 😭

[@alexdagr8235]

ANYONE TELL ME WHAT WHEELS THEY ARE AND POSSIBLY SIZE ? They look phenomenal

[@mikeyzedify]

Another great video, great detail and awesome shots, me personally wouldn't class it as a supercar but a super hybrid if that's even a thing...

[@mitafoaj]

Nice color combo on this i8.

[@carlitoxb110]

3 cylinder turbo? Sounds amazing

[@lnz971]

it's a fake sound

[@nikahnor1769]

great video, keep them coming...

[@RoadsUntraveled]

Thanks!

[@alexischavez7953]

What kind of camera and lens do you use??

[@SportNut1]

Is this grey an original stock color or did you wrap it?

[@DOJAS]

Nice, love the car, locks like a concept! Being a purist would stock oem cars be the choice.........and role in a classic jag with a mustache Will be waiting for the 4c keep it coming

[@Extuhsee21]

Backroads of ladner again, right on! ladner represent

[@UnitedWeBrap]

Gotta say, the I8 suits you very well!! Great video, thanks.

[@RoadsUntraveled]

haha thanks

[@darkmuff0025]

Does the price tag justify the car?

[@andrewbrown9656]

Love the videos!!!! Man with this type of quality video you should have an even bigger following!

[@Chuch1090]

Hey guys, i'm a fan from Lithuania ! i love your videos, and Marcus, you are damn good host ! i watch every single video :P for me i8 is a super car, it is the future i think. So, i have one question, maybe offer i guess. You should try to drive Datsun 280Z, it has just about 180HP in stock, its old japanese sports car, but its fun to drive, fast, nimble and sounds amazing. :))

[@DwainDwight]

great review. awesome car

[@jokjok2411]

Sweet paint job. Where'd you get it!?

[@mukundipad2]

Very nice customization guys

[@t3hdude]

What kind of MPG did you get? I remember watching the review that Jeremy Clarkson did on this car and he said that BMW were claiming to get like over 130MPG, but feedback from actual buyers revealed that they were only getting around 30. That is a pretty damn big difference and kinda defeats the whole purpose of the car, since you can even get 30MPG on the highway from a new stingray. It's all perspective I guess, I wouldn't consider it a supercar since it's competitors (performance wise) are corvettes and lower model 911s, and those are high performance sports cars. It does have supercar traits though, mainly in the looks and doors. Then again, Jeremy Clarkson referred to the Lotus Evora as a supercar during his review and that car doesn't have supercar power. It had supercar handling though and looks too I guess. Anyway great video brahs, top notch camera and editing work as usual.

[@raymondnewbill2748]

killer review guys, spent a lot of time sitting in the i8. Never got to drive one though:-/ You should do a review on the new BMW M2!!! Or the 2016 /M235i, that is a killer car!!! Thinking about buying a ///M2 so I would be curious how you guys feel about it.

[@panda51829able]

Awesome channel are you from Canada ? Trailer park boys is a great show nomesayin?

[@hussali8838]

I think the owner was cleaning this yesterday I saw it in person what an amazing looking car

[@hussali8838]

In Richmond lol

[@UzbekAlibek]

+Huss Ali I live close!

[@xtriumphx818]

what's the song called at 7:18??

[@ap2.v1]

Thats what im tryina to figure out

[@ScoopzyDaizy]

Ever thought about a 'Classic car special' series? Like a video every 2 weeks with a classic car. Try looking at Petrolicious for example. All due respect, jdm cars are awesome and all the stories of these guys building their machines but there's an extra layer of emotion that goes into restoration and owning a classic car. Would add to the variety and cool factor on your channel. I'm biased cause I'm a classic car enthusiast, but it's a good suggestion I believe.

[@gohardorgohome7687]

Totaly agree

[@TarikTJS]

I would like to see that too! But I like the tuned cars. Maybe classic cars that have been (slightly) modified to meet the owner's personal taste and ideas about the car? Cars like the 1972 Alfa Romeo Berlina that Petrolicious covered once… @ScoopyDaizy: But this may not be your point of view? I am not sure if you are a purist when it comes to classic cars, cause I know not everyone likes modified classic cars.

[@toptobottom247]

This car looks like the Riddler on Nitro...a keeper definitely.

[@sunday_funday7765]

Impressive burnout marks at 2:20!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TCOCharlesDexterWard]

2:38 light blue seatbelt on a black green car with internal gray well not so..clever

[@pringlelays159]

Marcus im honestly surprised u havent reviewed a s2000 yet

[@RoadsUntraveled]

+Pringle Lays they're surprisingly tough to find :p it's a car I've really wanted to drive for a long time

[@RoadsUntraveled]

+Pringle Lays they're surprisingly tough to find :p it's a car I've really wanted to drive for a long time

[@pringlelays159]

+Roads Untraveled also try to review an integra type r if u can get ur hands on one. That would be a review I would really be interested in. :)

[@topgearstig1510]

In Richmond ?

[@ItzAngels3]

Super car does have a definition. Its a car that has a top speed of over 300 km per hour. So technically this car doesn't fit in this category. However, since it is a hybrid does that mean that it gets placed in a category specific to hybrid super cars??

[@RoadsUntraveled]

So the Dodge Challenger Hellcat is a supercar? Definitely not in my books. It's a muscle car. But like I said, supercar doesn't have a definition so you can label it how you want!

[@ValleyTV]

What is the name of the song in the intro?

[@decoyblaze4991]

likes the video at 10 when recieved the notification, watches it at 6:45 when i get home

[@delux4life678]

It's bad as brotha!!!!! Sweet like the movie TRON!!!!!

[@topdownb58]

I'll keep saying it time and time again, but these i8s look worlds better whenever customers change the blue accents to a different color...i love that shade of blue, but it doesn't work on the i8 in the small sprinkling over the random bits they decided to highlight...

[@matth2280]

What is the song title at the beginning?

[@theefactor1360]

Matt H fat rat xenogenesis

[@merica1st76]

Keep them coming,and do a 240sx review!

[@mr.fuscles]

I've seen this in Richmond.

[@pringlelays159]

This is in richmond right

[@sunday_funday7765]

South delta

[@sunday_funday7765]

White rock too

[@FudgeCakeShanker]

I seen it in Vancouver the other day I swear it was this one haha

[@WelshyAutomotive]

7:47 Broke this mans whole back when you drove by hahahahahaha

[@justintang3547]

lol..thats pretty funny xD

[@yisto4693]

yoo I've not seen a green one that's pretty sick looking

[@joshkiej6601]

a competitor to this car is the 2016 honda/acura nsx, both hybrid, 100-150k range

[@RoadsUntraveled]

The NSX costs about $30-40k more and has about 200hp more as well. Similar ideas, but the NSX is in a different category. Having never driven one, of course.

[@ItsMikeArre]

+Roads Untraveled rather have a a brand new 2016 Nissan GTR Nismo for 150k

[@KevinMinato]

this is my most favorite car you have driven

[@ApplleeFanboy]

what's the intro song?!

[@zhemin]

please show us your mr2 . Thanks ;'D

[@ukra7062]

Music in beginning is THE FATRAT and something

[@tienthongduong2914]

This car how much horsepower ?

[@bigblockrc]

3:34 1993-94 Cadillac Fleetwood!

[@PerhapsToast2]

SFPR?

[@TwuTruMuzic]

you are awesome dude....

[@ap2.v1]

Song?

[@kimlevi44]

Quality video

[@lop8828]

these featured beauties are on another level compared to onetake# you need to expand and promote but not excessively.

[@nestor2425]

You're from Vancouver??? Same lol

[@TeamHG803]

need to change the seat belts black or lime green badly

[@Tyruhswag]

Design is cool, fake sounds are garbage and ruin the car for me

[@hamisha81]

How can you make fake sounds 🤔🤔😂😂😂

[@Tyruhswag]

The Doctor artificial Active Sound Design audio systems both inside and outside of the i8

[@hamisha81]

+Tyro TG Thats not true. Thats only for DESPERATE car designers 😒😒

[@BiGyElLoWtUrDYT]

You can turn them off in the settings, but it still sounds awesome. It sounds like a straight 6 not a 3 cylinder lol

[@thomasl.4779]

I`m not sure, but I think they just enhance the actual 3 cyl engine sound. If you don`t know it, you hear no difference to a 6 cyl engine.

[@FudgeCakeShanker]

You in BC? We should meet up haha, I'm in Vancouver

[@iisxlty-stillsp00der-man60]

I love the color and the car

[@xTaiZna]

the i8 got an awesome look, i like it - Vossen Rims ? ;D

[@justintang3547]

nope...they are brixton forge 22"

[@shanes0s473]

+Roads Untraveled Keep it up more Jdms :3

[@husky701rider9]

A true super car should scare you and thrill you and this car doesn't seem to do either. It's an amazing sports car and a technological masterpiece if you ask me but it's not very thrilling.

[@BiGyElLoWtUrDYT]

It is thrilling! my Dad owns one and it is very thrilling when you put your foot down.

[@breakingcycles741]

Also it has 4 seats and only like 300-something horsepower. Not a supercar.

[@zero00-100]

If they make a M8 though.

[@bobbinkofot6698]

amazing

[@alexstern3583]

That thing breaks necks like almost nothing else

[@magneticredcorvette9051]

that is a supercar beautiful

[@Redstoneprime316]

City car? A city car is a very small hatch-back family car.
