Thanks Calv great video🙌can honestly saying I’m massively enjoying the car and will keep everyone updated with my plans etc on my Instagram👍

LEON NAFF CO 54 perfect car for you. Good daily, good on fuel, massive road presence and unreal power delivery 👌👌

Looks better without the warp these can be remaped to about 400 bhp

Awesome 😊 good purchase 🔥👍

Hey Calvin where do you buy the cars from auction, any strategy for buying and selling auction cars? Have u still got your ghibli? Does it run well? Iv bought one after your video 😂

Love the i8 Calvin. Not only are you buying cars, you are now restoring them !! Whoever thought it was a good idea to wrap a white i8 in matt black needs a kick up the arse 😂

Yep 100% agree my mate had a brand new i8 in white and looked really nice.

[@therealchayd]

Lovely motor, would love one of these. I've got an i3, despite being as ugly as anything, still great fun to drive. Having a CFRP body with a nice low centre of gravity due to the battery makes it corner like a go kart.

[@tomhanhart5921]

ChayD True! I own both and for the city the i3 is clearly the better choice. Stunning the fact both batteries are still in top condition after six years! Perfect german premium engineering!

[@robmccall5017]

@@tomhanhart5921 true and the Price for a new Battery is 6.000 Euros, fair as i see it! BMW gives an extended Warranty to the Battery anyway.

[@timharvey511]

I quite liked the wrap but the car looks so much better with it removed. Blue is better than the red also.

[@Burevestnik9M730]

The original wrap color was like that Batman car, which was probably an inspiration to wrap it that way

[@paulpateman3968]

Still looks futuristic Calvin nice car can’t wait to see how it turns out hope the battery issue isn’t to expensive for Leon to fix 👍👍

[@BeObjectiveBeHumble]

How much did he pick it up for in that state if u don’t me asking? N how much did need to be spent to fix it up?

omg so much nicer! At first I thought the black and red looked alright but after it's gone, no question. Gorgeous.

Still pretty cool to this day, that the little 1.5 3cyl engine pushes out 230bhp.

Hi Calvin, I just love your channel.....proper cars reviewed by a proper bloke. Watched your video on the Maserati GranTurismo a million times then went out and bought one ( 2013 GT sport 20,000 miles and Mint) Absolutely love the GTS , as a 61 years young petrol head I have owned (45 cars)and driven most cars but I feel the Maserati is one of the very best I have ever owned . Fabulous value and that noise ...wow . Thanks again.

[@whodaaat]

That cheeky smile on your face when you are driving the I8 says it all. That's the look you have when you know you've bought the right car 🚗 😁😁👍🏽

[@manjbains1977]

Good to see a i8 on the channel. Huge fan and such a rare car too. Can't wait for Wednesday now!!! 👍

[@SabbathDay]

I'm blessed to have bought a used 2019 i8 Roadster, and it's a dream. It's quick, fun, and super rare in the Roadster version. But I'm glad it's not too powerful. Some cars are suicide machines.

[@akramalmangosh3423]

The car was buried and now came to life again, well done 👏

[@erroldawkins1392]

Big up Calvin, I have a 2017 M240, a Bicycle scratch my front bumper, the car is my pride and joy, anyway I watch a lot of your content, and realise you must know a lot of contacts, I’m asking for your recommendation, a good car sprayer, I have checked chips Away, but they can’t fit me in till 5 to 6 weeks. I just want to get the scratches of the from bumper ASAP. I want to drive the car In a immaculate state. Can you help. Blessings mi Brother.

over here in the State the Bmw dealer , do not know how to work on the I8 and get people to do service's that should not be done like changing the coolant , here they have an over heating issue , because they do not fill it up correctly.

[@jodygreen1518]

The car looks perfect in the white and blue trim it's perfectly sorted out like that repaint the black wheels and repaint the calipers and you will have a proper daily driver I would drive it everyday Peace

[@S3Ben]

It has a CF monocoque chassis so if you crash it then it’s a huge cost to replace as you can’t repair it typically. I think that’s one of the reasons it goes cheap second hand

Just found your channel, love it mate 🤘🏼🎥

Edit*** Calvin bought it really

[@BarneyRubble]

The i8 is an amazing BMW concept car that made it into production long before Tesla or others. It’s biggest downfall is probably that practicality comes last for the sake of super car looks & peoples fear of repair costs should this new technology go wrong .

[@BarneyRubble]

Sorry just checked & Tesla first cars were a lot earlier than the i8 😬 !!!
