Like most bmws lately... its not depreciating greatly, it was overpriced to begin with.... its falling to its proper price

[@tenslider6722]

best and realest comment ever lol.

[@SLOBeachboy]

I’m sorry, but the “proper” price for anything is whatever the market will support. In other words, it’s whatever people are willing to pay for it. And while all new cars depreciate substantially over the first few years, how much they depreciate never has anything to do with any of them being “overpriced” when new. By the way, Ferrari makes by FAR the largest profit off of each individual car they sell compared to other car makers, so some would say that these car were overpriced, yet they also hold their value extremely well. So, there goes your theory out the window.

[@tenslider6722]

Build quality and realibility is the reason why they depreciate faster than a fat person free falling with rocks in their pockets.

[@Alex0992]

no they depreciate fast because people in the market for an i8 buy new ones not used ones.

[@FKAAYA]

@Matt Frazier Then there simply aren't any good looking modern BMWs.

[@CrazyChemistPL]

@Matt Frazier Agreed. The i8 however is that odd one exception for me.

[@itsme-notyou]

@Matt Frazier Their styling is hit and miss. There are bangle era gems and monstrosities. BMW is all over the place now. The M4 is a beauty but the f30 it's based on is hideous. The giant grills on the flagships are comical, but the 2 series and last gen z4s nail it. The e90s post-lci have aged well, and the 1 series was always love/hate quirky. They'll never regain the consistent perfectness of the e46/e39 days without a major overhaul of design philosophy, and then we'll probably complain they've gone audi-bland.

@@jochenstacker7448 Right. Provided, the i8 system is interesting, it's not anything crazy cool.

[@j050227]

Being an i8 owner myself, I honestly think the i8 is the most misunderstood car of all time. It is not a supercar, it’s a stylish and technologically advanced GT that gives you sports car performance and a SHIT LOAD of MPG. If you buy it for it is, you’ll love it. And yes I didn’t lease I bought my i8 and I’m taking the depreciation hit every single day, but I love it as a daily driver, it drives well and it is a LOT more comfortable than what people give it credit for.

[@Codename4711]

All things considered, I always gawk when I see one going by. I think what is genuinely exciting about the i8 is the styling matched with the silent flyby. It subverts your expectations, and it has a presence wherever it goes. Tesla's are cool to see, but the i8 feels like something much more special.

[@Sprocketboy1956]

I am happy some owners have chimed in. I did a brief test drive and was not sure what to make of the i8. It was weird that in Sport mode it sounded liked my Corvette but the silence when starting was novel. It looks like the future and I really liked the clean and attractive interior. The rear seats look kind of silly and I think it takes practice to get in and out without whacking the door or the sills. Still, a brave and original venture by BMW. Unfortunately, they only find around 400 buyers annually in the US so I am not certain if BMW's ambitious plans for a whole line of i-cars will come to pass.

Damn you should of really leased it man

[@cawimmer430]

I've had the pleasure of extensively riding in two BMW i8s and these are very impressive cars. Yeah, the engine sound is partially fake, but aside from that the 3-cylinder turbo is very impressive from a refinement point of view. When the driver slams the pedal the engine response also appears to be instantaneous and you are forcibly pushed deep into the hard leather seats. Those 3-cylinder turbo engines are more refined than the naturally aspirated 4-cylinder gasoline engine in my 2007 BMW 118i!

My 318i is super cool and I love it especially for the looks I managed to get a 4 door manual and I pul some side skirts on it and tinted the windows and had it painted dark purple it's a looker but it's not fast at all I would love to get an i8 I love the look of it and I am too old to care too much about speed but I'm rather into the look and the status of having a BMW

[@SonicBoone56]

Because all the popular tech KZbinrs who know nothing of cars overhyped this.

*THE BEST* looking BMW ever, and one of the best looking cars in general. Too bad BMW did not deliver on power and other stuff.

[@brandono9387]

Oof, it’s a 3 cylinder not a 4 cylinder bro

[@WilliamJones-Halibut-vq1fs]

The main thing is it’s a pluggable hybrid. Makes a lot of sense to be able to run on electricity 85% of the time but have that petrol engine in there when you need to suddenly do long distances or emergencies. Even long ranged Teslas can get in the trouble. BMWs pluggable hybrids are the best whether i3 or i8. .

[@lsswappedcessna]

It's called the i8 so it should have an inline 8. *Angry Buick noises*

[@whatisbow2865]

[@sgclacy]

In the UK the car, an almost new one, sells for around £80k when the list is around £115k. The value of a four year old i8 is around 45K with milage commensurate with normal use. The depreciation from £80k to £45K is normal, but dreadful when viewed from the artificial price of £115k , Incredibly relaible , probably one of the nicest looking car from the side but muddled from the back and acceptable from the front. Interior lacks any drama, but being a 2 + 2 is handy. The doors require the same distance between another car than any other car - often having to fold in other people door mirrors to allow the door to open fully. Aside from depreciation the running costs are very modest - servicing of which 2 were required in the 45K miles I did cost less than £600 in total. Tyres will last around 12,000 to 15,000 miles and whilst narrow are an unusual size which makes them around £275 each for the back and circa £225 for the fronts. Fuel consumption is in the late 30's and if plugged in at night and modest length journeys and overall 43-48 mpg is achievable. No RFL and insurance costs not excessive No faults aside from a problem with the fuel cap cover. At around the £45k to £50k for a three to four year old car, worthy of ownership for a couple of years.

[@ililoly8849]

zrp0602 God knows what car you like then.

[@tomahawkstudios9688]

To each their own. I like it

[@DoctaM3]

I am not sure I agree. The i8 is not depreciating any faster than another BMW or any luxury sports car for that matter. It is more the sticker shock. It was expensive to begin with but if you look at the Tesla, it too have a depreciation curve that is eye opening.

Literally what he said in the video

So... you agree

I've heard before about the sound coming through the speakers my question is if you have the sound system off does it still play through the speakers?

hm okay, here where i live, i pay 7000 € for a 105hp diesel a3, guess gtis are very cheap in your region

Flobbi gtis go for around 5k average in my area. I got very lucky to get a broken one and fixed it up so it could pass smog. I just hope one of these channels boosts the value of them like they did to the mustang gt= jumped 3k the past year and the 350z that also jumped a few thousand.

[@RM-fc1nc]

There about 10k in Australia. Which is pretty cheap for what you got in your country
