5 Things I LOVE about the BMW i8 [iLife. iTimes.]

[@furgulley8077]

guy at the gas station says "nice lambo!" to which you can actually respond "no my lambos are at home" how awesome is that

[@DoctaM3]

+jason shuler LOL... that is true. I could have said that. 😊

[@ah072965]

+DoctaM3 lmao thats great

[@CarsUncovered]

It's not the best bang for your buck performance wise, but it is one of the most high tech standout sports cars on the market. There isn't really a sports car that compares to it or offers the best of both worlds in both performance and efficiency. Love this car!

[@DoctaM3]

+Cars Uncovered me too.

[@CliftonCinematics]

The thumbnail is amazing

[@DoctaM3]

+RacinGod2088 Thanks. If folks **THUMBS UP** this comment I will post it.

[@SuperStarO]

I love mine too man. Daily drive it then Huracan for the rest of the days. One big thing I like about it is you don't have to charge it AT ALL which most people do not know. I love how it charges itself while you drive & super charges itself while in sport mode. The only things I would love to see improved on are just like you said...if not bigger batteries than just better preforming ones. I wish the all electric mode lasted longer than 12 miles as that does not really get you to much. Im sure as technology gets better they will come out with same weight or lighter even batteries which can hold even more / last longer with the juice. 40+ miles would be awesome. I also used to wish for a bigger engine / more power but not anymore since it's already fast enough really for a daily driver & then we have bigger toys if we want super power & speed. One other big thing I like is the heads up display. Not only does it show the speed & speed limit your in but you can program it to show your navigation directions & music list on your phone so you can scroll through & select songs without taking your eyes off the road & all kinds of info. Also I like the blue light up in the dark as well but thought i'd tell you! Don't let them do the new update on it or else for some reason you lose the blue light when you unlock the car in dark spaces. Its some kind of bug all the owners are complaining about on the forums as well.

[@MMAFan20]

Did they fix that issue

[@jamesaron1967]

I love the snow clip. That's something I've never seen before and doubt many owners use the i8 in areas where there's heavy winters. Good to see that. Awesome!

[@DoctaM3]

Totally agree. I just love this car. Did you see the drifting video in the snow?

[@wrxnate2450]

5 things I like about the i8..... EVERYTHING! Such a beautiful car Docta

[@DoctaM3]

+WrxNate hhaaaha.

[@davidw.7275]

Now y’all. If the man, who has owned multiple Lamborghinis with enough speed to give you a hernia, can love and enjoy this car...you can too.

[@arch417powersports]

It really is a one of a kind car right now. Beautiful!

[@Bad_1nfluence]

For a video idea could you go to an exotic dealer and have them walk you through the process of building a custom vehicle? As far as showing you the materials, color options, fiber treatments, ect? You did something similar in the Lamborghini booth in Geneva just wanted to see the dealer present similar information.

[@DoctaM3]

+Cash Kamora This is an EXCELLENT idea. I definitely will do this one for sure.

[@Bad_1nfluence]

+DoctaM3 I appreciate your consideration. Always looking forward to whatever content you may produce.

[@DoctaM3]

+Cash Kamora thanks.

[@dshu15]

I would love to see a garage tour!

[@TACTICSRUS]

All LEDs on the car would be one of my favorite features.. Love the futuristic look :) Still haven't seen one in person yet..

[@DoctaM3]

+Mid Ohio Valley Car Enthusiast, MOVCE Soon enough!

[@elvindelacrur2160]

Congratulations on your BMW I8. I'm planning on buying in the near future. God Bless You.

[@DC2Megaboost]

Great Vid as usual Doc any future plans for a Mclaren 675LT?

[@melancholia9399]

LOVE the shots you got of this car! Waayy better than any other YT reviewer I've seen

[@DoctaM3]

Thanks Marc. I appreciate the feedback.

[@casperbilsen2984]

you should do another video on your 458

[@f470]

I do think the future of the automobile industry is here. Tesla came out with the Model 3 and has revolutionized the industry. Electric cars have always been very expensive and that is one of the reasons why so many people couldn't own one. In 2018, you will be able to choose a gasoline car or an electric car for the same price. Curiosity and objective decisions will make people choose electric cars as a better option. The i8, however, it is on its own category. Beautiful car, Docta!

[@DoctaM3]

+Rico Suave Very well said. Thanks.

[@blakeogeris2494]

But the sound, does it sound the same from the outside?

[@rajdayalan4596]

how is the car in the snow?? and is space good for some luggage and groceries??

[@DoctaM3]

+Raj Dylan one of the best cars i have had in the snow. Did you see the drift video too? kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKGVgJtmrbiKiM0

[@leezo2123]

enjoy watching your KZbin channel so down to earth and great content!!

[@DoctaM3]

+Lee Hellings Thank Lee.

[@sadchihuahua6271]

When the mercedes vision gt comes out will you get it?

[@DoctaM3]

+Seamangifted Jr. I like the Porsche better.

[@sadchihuahua6271]

+DoctaM3 totally agree

[@TimeOutWithTadeo]

Great review!! I8 Best super car worldwide.

[@DoctaM3]

Couldn't agree more!

[@GeebsinVA]

Will you be trading this for the i8 spider dicta??!!

[@GeebsinVA]

Docta*

[@DoctaM3]

+GeebsinVA Definitely like the spyder.

[@kevinchan2841]

Philly??

[@CarsFilmingFriends]

What a great review! Gave so much insights! I think I'm gonna get the i8 (and not the Mercedes c63 AMG)for my euro trip!

[@benhuang3751]

Please do more of these!

[@DoctaM3]

+Ben Huang thanks.

[@rfp3089]

What a lovely Lambo i8 haha :D. The sound is just awesome inside and the doors are literally the best looking of all cars with this kind of doors! It would be insane if I someday get to drive one! Nice video :)

[@rfp3089]

What do you think of the new colour protonic red?

[@DoctaM3]

I do love the protonic red. I saw it in Geneva... Its pretty SICK!!

[@rfp3089]

Sadly it was a limited edition paintjob.

[@r35killa]

Great 5 points! It is one of my dream daily driver cars. Great video Docta!

[@DoctaM3]

+R35killa thanks. Really is a great car.

[@nainortiz6738]

my friend has one on 22s , turns heads all day and I'm down in Huntington Beach where super cars are a dime a dozen

[@Bm17388]

@doctam3 what year is it

[@DoctaM3]

2015

[@Bm17388]

What about ur lamboghini aventador

[@DjJokerr]

How much is that car?

[@mannysingh109]

Mid 100s

[@cespinosa2600]

Awesome lights!

[@dstarley]

Um...what did you say at 1:45?? Great video though, the sound it makes is actually surprisingly good

[@KeXJo]

+David Starley i see dead people

[@dstarley]

Yannik ynkvideos Creepy right?

[@nemtizz]

+David Starley "I see dead people."

[@BlooweelsFr]

Excellente vidéo, bravo ! On approuve chez Blooweels.

[@DoctaM3]

+BLOOWEELS Thanks!

[@Skilz111]

I love these types of vids tbh. Thumbs up :)

[@DoctaM3]

+Skilz111 Thanks.

[@Skilz111]

+DoctaM3 no worries my friend 😀

[@imSchwaggy]

the bmw i8m(Mi8 or i8 m-sport) would be something insane like an n54(335i engine) instead of the mini engine and would probably make like 650+ hp and have some other crazy features. I cant wait to see what they come out with though .

[@DoctaM3]

+im Schwaggy very true.

[@R3STRIKT3D]

Any chance of a full review like you did with the lambo? Or are you too busy with events and stuff? Either way loved this video, BMW fanboy at heart, miss my 3 series! Hoping to get an M4 soon!

[@alexlam24]

+R3STRIKT3D Get a M2. Much more bang for the buck

[@question545]

Awesome video. Somehow my dream cars are all german: AMG GTS/SLS , R8, and i8. I'd like to see the seat belt colours on the i8 a bit different tbh. I think they could have maybe been a bit more creative with the colours placed on it. I can't think of much else tbh. It's an incredible car.

[@DoctaM3]

+Oz all great rides.

[@dylanromo3619]

Are you in Sioux city, Iowa?!

[@DoctaM3]

+dylanromo3619 nope. sorry. why?

[@hussilveridico3002]

Great Car

[@ToastToGo]

Would ya just look at it!

[@MrHarlemworld]

Did you forget all wheel drive??

[@deity.46]

I'd really like to see bmw make a high performance i8. You were talking about maybe an i8///M but maybe a little bit more, like a laferrari approach. Very Very high intensity sports car. Throw an E60 V10 in it and a turbo. Just my two cents.

[@DoctaM3]

+Grayson Terry This would be a leap and I am sure they could do it. Many of us we hoping they would do an M1 supercar/hypercar since they had done it before esp. for their 100th Anniversary. Maybe they will surprise us before the end of the year.

[@m_dave2339]

Love Bmw I8!!!

[@th3thrilld3m0n]

ive driven on that road many times!

[@BCJDM]

Im actually surprised that you dont have a Tesla. Any real reason you dont?

[@LorenTzoLiak]

+BCJDM At the moment, Tesla doesn't offer good styling for their automobiles + they've already recalled the Model X model! Maybe that's way he doesn't own one. At the moment the i8 it's unique on the market.

[@BCJDM]

Ovidiu Daniluc Styling is subjective. The i8 is unique but so is Tesla, plus im sure the right model S would probably be faster than the i8 as well.

[@alexlam24]

+BCJDM I'm assuming it's because its a beta product. Sure it gets constant updates OTA, but the luxury inside isn't that great. A P90D costs the same as a new S Class, yet no cooled seats? It is missing tiny little things that you should expect standard in a 130k car

[@GoodBunnii]

Reaction video featuring your BMW i8

[@DoctaM3]

+Christian Calda I have a couple of short ones. I will post.

[@MCVenomzz]

As I'm sure you're aware, it appears that BMW is considering a mirror-less version of the i8. I think with that option, this car would truly look ahead of its time: www.cnet.com/news/bmw-ditches-mirrors-for-a-safer-side-view-camera-system/

[@DoctaM3]

+Evolq I know.... I hope they really do it. Was hoping for something for their 100th Anniversary. There is still time before the end of the year for them to surprise us.

[@user-zs5of5en5o]

You are my hero.

[@DoctaM3]

+KAL EL No hero here but glad you like the stuff and hope I inspire.

[@alexlam24]

1 thing I love about the i8. It'll fit a Landoni and an Alex in the back

[@DoctaM3]

+alexlam24 true. Other videos coming.

[@MyzteryMedia]

Amazing

[@DB-yi5sm]

Subbed

[@DoctaM3]

+William Henry thanks. really appreciate it,

[@huikki987]

How old this dude is 40?

[@Krispymanbligity]

Seatmaniac why does it matter?

[@BMWAddictE90]

One thing I hate about the i8: I don't have one...yet

[@DoctaM3]

+BMWAddict That can change!

[@BMWAddictE90]

DoctaM3 haha I want one some day. Gotta have an M car first though, that's the next goal from my current 328i

[@icejack2024]
