Great review. I am thinking about buying a 2016 . I think it is about the best entry level exotic for the price. My one concern is after the warranty is up will I be in exotic car range in cost if a turbo needs repair? Or if something simple like breaks will be over 2k to redo. Appreciate any info you can share . Be well Al

I saw that! If I had kept the car I definitely would have bought those.
@mkwsoxfan7 ай бұрын
The real dilemma is this car is now $50-60k, seeing people genuinely justify the 150k price tag 5 years ago, and now having an opportunity to get one for 1/3rd of that is very enticing. Might be my only opportunity in my lifetime to own a car like this 😅

I've owned BMW's for a while now and been contemplating on getting an i8. 12.5 second quarter mile times are pretty respectable, the only other car that would fit the bill would be a R8. I think the biggest reason why I would like an i8 over the r8 is the fact that it has back seats. Not so much for people but for extra storage. Anyways, great video

I just traded my 2016 i8 for a r8 as well. Have some same thoughts about this car, only the one who actually got to live with the car can gets the point of the car. I loved the car very much. Nice review!!

Would you suggest this car to someone who wants a lighter car than the M2, handles close to it and is easy yet special to drive on a daily basis? How is the ride height? Does it have anything that behaves like a limited slip differential? Also on the list are 997.1 Turbo (6MT), SLS AMG, F13 M6(for GT purposes) in no particular order.

The faulty engine problems you had were pretty scary and worrying for people who want to buy a used i8 I can’t imagine the cost to repair. A 150,000 dollar car should not have mechanical problems, but the car is awesome.

I'm a fellow Michigander, Did you ever take it out in winter? if so how does it handle? Obviously wouldn't take it out with a foot of snow but just curious on how it handles in those conditions. I've been considering the i8 for a new daily especially because you can get them with 20k miles for so cheap now.

IMO, the i8 should probably msrp around $80k when the same vehicle costs almost double. It's a beautiful car but the pretend exhaust noise is something you do for your kids power wheels, not a hundred thousand dollar car.
@jordanbanko53475 жыл бұрын
I think it's to offset the development cost. I'm not sure, but I believe BMW is going negative with all of their "i" models due to how much R&D went into the "Carbon Core" and they're desperately trying to find other uses for it (i.e. new G12 7 series)
