PICKING UP MY NEW 2019 BMW i8 ROADSTER!

I can't believe it, but I just picked up my brand new 2019 BMW i8 Roadster in Sophisto Grey! What a fun day. This has been one of my dream cars for a long time, and I'm blessed to have been able to finally get it. I take you on a short road trip to San Diego, where we pick up the car and drive it back home.

This is sorta like a VLOG/ Day in the life video, let me know if you enjoy this new style of video on my channel!
I'm a 27 year old entrepreneur working in real estate and e-commerce, and I live in Orange County, CA. The main point of this video is to show you that a normal guy like me, with a dream to be an entrepreneur from an early age, can succeed in getting a $165,000 car like this. (Hint: the reason I was able to get this car at $975/month + tax is because of lease hacking) I graduated from UCLA 5 years ago, and definitely had struggles post graduation with finding work, finding my passion, and building my multiple businesses.
My channel is here to serve you guys and inspire a new generation of people who are devoted to personal finance, entrepreneurship, and living a unique and fulfilling life. I make videos about how you can become a millionaire by your 30's - it all contributes to it, from investing correctly, to making more money, to earning free rewards through credit cards and travel.
I am a huge fun of getting out there, setting your eyes on the goal, and getting it done! I hope I can inspire some of you to follow in my footsteps and live the life you've always wanted.
PLEASE make sure to subscribe and Like this video, your support means a ton to me.
Keep killin it you guys

Never seen your videos before, but as a girl who loves cars seeing how happy you are with your i8 genuinely made me happy too :) Hope to have your kind of success when I’m 27, congrats!! 🎉

[@isaacgutierrez4400]

Bro I just feel so happy as you on the video, ¡congratulations!

[@jordannguyen9123]

This is so awesome! Congrats man, you deserve it!

[@CharlieChang]

Thank you Jordan!!

[@tassosolano3292]

this is awesome man congrats! Im currently 22 years and I would say one of my goals is to definitely own this car. me personally id go for an older model for more space in the back.

[@CharlieChang]

Thanks dude! Yeah the coupe was still being made for 2019, but the roadster was what spoke to me. The coupe is way more practical because you can use the backseats as storage. Trunk on the roadster is tiny haha

[@magicmike1122]

You get the car yet?

[@rociocarrasco2451]

OMG Congratulations Charlie!!! 👏 👏 👏

[@CharlieChang]

Thanks Rocio! :D

[@SuperFavrits]

[@MALIK-fk1rz]

i’m 18 and this motivates me even more to be able to get an i8 hopefully younger than you :)

[@maximusgarcia1008]

Roshni Shaik oh I’m 6, wish you the best.

[@derrick2251]

[@CharlieChang]

Thank you Matthew!

[@edl8248]

Congrats! I’m most curious though, how long after you got it did the lust/excitement wear off, if at all?

[@vroomkeys]

Subbed! I'm a car enthusiast in OC that works in RE too. Great stuff

[@jamesarredondo941]

Hell yeah bro I feel u on all that ur saying during the vid. Sick ride

[@CharlieChang]

Appreciate it Jacob!

[@MegaSecretroom]

Damn brotha you’re killing it!

[@CharlieChang]

Still have a long way to go! Thanks bro!

[@fnubcak]

Hi Charlie! Stumbled on this video and wanted to ask, do you still have the i8? If you do, how has it been the last 4-5 years? Has there been any big issues, whether maintenance or just anything you ran into? The i8 is also my dream car and definitely want to get it one day too!

[@TransformationDetail]

Crazy to randomly come across your videos only to find out we like the same car!

[@javianjohnson8746]

This is so cool...and motivating!

[@ryanhuncho405]

What an inspiration bruh I see u yuh lemme hop in dat bih show u how whip it good yuh

[@czhao8945]

Hi Charlie, congratulations on your new car. Just want to ask how you made it? I want to buy a cool car as you!

[@heyitsbridge]

NOOOO WAYYYYYY CONGRATS!!

[@CharlieChang]

Thank you!!! Next time you and Ally come to LA let's take it out

[@Top18198]

Congratulation bro. !!

[@tae.london6263]

Congrats bro

[@CharlieChang]

Appreciate it!

[@MicaeloDuran]

Best part , “it really inspires me everyday when I see this car to work harder because, well I have to pay for this car” 😂

[@nilsonarein5093]

Congratulations man yoi deserve it

[@Osa1501]

Congrats man. You are successful yet you don’t get much views haha. Doesn’t make sense. Anyway, that car looks nice. I am also looking to get one too but the ultra expensive, exclusive ultimate sophisto version, unless another car catches my eye.

[@CharlieChang]

Thank you! They’re only making 200 of those so that would be pretty cool

[@JayMalone414]

I thought I was late until I saw this,hitting 27 next year and it’s my dream car as well

[@alex_theaviation2995]

This BMW I8 is so cool. Congrats

[@pedroschannel8303]

I like watching your videos, I got my dream car at 23 and at 21 my house. I’m new to the stock market, and just started watching you yesterday. I’m looking to drop 12k in NLCH what are your thoughts?

[@luckyguy4272]

Amazing car !

[@ThePharaohsCat]

Good for you Charlie! Enjoy it. Relish it. Then one day you'll level up to when a car like that means nothing to you. The thrill of the ride and design yes, but not the status. Loved my Audi TTs and BMW Roadster, but its great chilling in back of a taxi or a train getting whisked to your destination.

[@clipsarchive7300]

for the fact that this is also my dream car his smile literally put a smile on my face 😁 can't wait till I can afford mine tho

[@richardhoang2956]

Do more videos on the roadster! Maybe consider upgrading the exhaust id love to see that

[@CharlieChang]

I have some planned for the next month or two! I'm not cool enough to upgrade the exhaust hahaha

[@atlas6867]

can we just talk about the guy and how charismatic he is 4:20

[@ThaNongShim]

Congrats bro! Super sick car man. You ever considered getting the M8 instead?

[@CharlieChang]

Thanks! M8 is dope too but probably not on the list of cars I'll get! i8 leases much better

[@chrisl.insocal7991]

Very cool Charlie! Ummm, so when are you giving me a ride in your awesome car then? 😬

[@hussilveridico3002]

Great Car!

[@radityomuhamad2526]

CONGRATULATIONS BROO!! 😂😊😆😆💪👍👍👍

[@CharlieChang]

THank you!

[@gabysoto10]

I wanna get this for my man he really deserves it hopefully one day

[@CharlieChang]

That’s so nice! Rooting for you Gaby

[@simonpaul7838]

Really happy for you bro, but I don't really like the idea of buying brand new cars because it loses about 10 - 30% (depending on the car) of its value (market) after the first year tho.

[@borisazihuwa6323]

Congrats! Getting mine this year. :) #SuperExcited

[@letlotlomotebang1182]

We together bro, let’s get them✍️

[@mikesagondeez6378]

[@CharlieChang]

Thanks man, appreciate the comment!

[@JustSK]

Charlie The Entrepreneur it’s my dream car and I’m glad you’re enjoying it

[@Mustafafarzam12]

Wow This is definitely my dream car I am gonna deserve it

[@EveTangRealEstate]

It's beautiful! How much does something like that cost in the US?

[@CharlieChang]

MRSP is 165k USD but these cars always have huge discounts!

[@11nica5]

Well done

[@JaffeBruce]

Did you lease or pay cash for the i8? What are your recommendations about buying versus leasing new cars?

[@CharlieChang]

Hey Bruce, thank you for your advice in your email! I really appreciate it. This i8 is a 2 year lease. And it really depends on the car. Some cars lease VERY well and some cars lease horribly. My general rule for a good lease is

[@Stonefactor]

Nice!

[@kgkingdom8035]

That’s my dream car tooo

[@PatsGarageOnline]

Congratulations and welcome to the i8 club! Your video came up as a recommended video following one of mine. I like your spec very much! Thanks for posting this vid! It's so exciting to see your reaction to getting the i8. It's always thrilling! I upload mainly i8 content on my channel. Also, join us on the i8 FaceBook group if you haven't, yet. facebook.com/groups/bmwi8group/

[@CharlieChang]

Thank you Pat! I've seen your videos as well, loved the stuff you're putting out. I will join the Facebook group, always down to meet fellow i8 owners

[@bonsaikiss]

[@CharlieChang]

Welcome to the channel!!

[@Nothingmore12652]

I’m here from tiktok dannymartin64 here to learn

[@CharlieChang]

Welcome!

[@isaiahbivins8613]

Any 1 realize that it’s says i8 and shows a m8

[@rjsmith7345]

I am looking to get into lease hacking. May I ask what would be the best credit score to be successful

[@CharlieChang]

740+

[@akawale9017]

What do you do to afford this?

[@CharlieChang]

I'm a real estate broker, mortgage loan originator, and e-commerce seller on Amazon

[@omardecasas7987]

The i8 is my dream car :(

[@CharlieChang]

You can do it!

[@omardecasas7987]

Charlie Chang hopefully I can achieve my dream of owning it, I’ll put in effort!

[@alfarojulio-araujo8374]

Bruh liberty walked it. Then come and show…

[@Reignz]

Unfortunately the depreciation on the i8 is insane. It’s probably worth half of what he paid w/ taxes. Should have went used bro.

[@CharlieChang]

I got a good lease deal :)

[@Reignz]

@@CharlieChang No need to be embarrassed on a poor financial choice Charlie. Unless you click baited the video it clearly states you “Bought” the car for “165k” in your description. You lying to yourself now? Lol.

[@CharlieChang]

@@Reignz Whoops I'll change it! This is a 24 month lease, I "bought" the car at 129k and the residual value is about 105k, which calculates the monthly lease payment + interest. Gotchu buddy. Haha na this car was the best marketing risk I've ever taken. It has paid for itself over many many times

[@Anythingyoulike2013]

$1k a month is cheap. Hope youre passively getting at least 20x that amount a month.

[@ScullyD-ee9jk]

Why does anyone want an i8, is it just cause of the way it looks?

[@lososcotti926]

Duhh

[@youtubercreators1979]

Imaigine if u r a canadian boy and buy bmw i8

[@121drip3]

I8 more like ipee

[@G0ddEityawesome]

Good luck with losing 50% value in a year with the i8 I guess

[@richardl9014]

He probably rent it, look at the sticker.

[@CharlieChang]

Haha that's my company logo

[@dimasekasetiawan9254]

Give me car 😔

[@khalifahas717]

Pabrikan RAB tentara arab haha...
