Used BMW I8...
Discussion
The i8 isn't really all that fast or that fun, around laguna seca it's kinda slower than a 1m coupe and 5 whole seconds slower than an m4.

welcome to 2017 where the gallardo is as fast around willow springs as a big heavy mercedes c63 saloon car

The porsche 911 991 carrera s and the carrera 4s are both 60k, in my opinion the carrera s is slightly more fun than the lambo.
The nissan gtr would be faster on a back road than all the cars mentioned above.

Speed isn't everything - a new golf r would probably beat my Aston in a race but I know where I'd rather sit http://fastestlaps.com/tracks/laguna-seca-post-198...

They will become like the Audi R8, just a bit common.
Oh no, not another R8, so common! I know exactly what you mean. What you really want is a sheddy old Ford or Volvo, to stand out against the boring drudgery of all these commoners with their R8's and I8'sNice choice to have OP, I imagine that both are fantastic, but very different trypes of car

I reckon once these drop to £50k you will see even more of them.

Why would the 2nd hand cost dropping to £50k have any effect on the number of these on the road?They will become like the Audi R8, just a bit common.
I bought an i8 in March 2015 with 1300 miles paying slightly over list for it at £115k
I have done 28500 miles and in a P e/x offered £56k last month
It is in ionic silver with the best alloys but with a black interior, it is the worst depreciating car I have ever owned. It is a sports car but not a super car, clever in many ways but never feels truly planted on the road even with new tyres all round. The doors serve no advantage as they swing out making parking at times awkward. however servicing costs a mere £350 at 20,000 miles and no faults whatsoever. Tyre wear is heavy and the tyres are around £200-£250 each and they are not particularly wide but being an unusual size pushes up the price.
When I first bought it it would deliver 20 miles on a full charge using the pure electric option, this has faded to 14 miles in two years
Probably one of the the nicest looking car when viewed from the side, too complex from the back and with some minor improvements could be made very striking from the front
I am sure it is the way forward for cars in the near future but I am not surprised having owned the car that the deprecation has been so bad. I got it completely wrong I thought with all the attention it drew with its looks and allied to modest running costs the depreciation would be respectably. What a mistake!
BMW i8 can be had with 10,000 miles for around £60k I still think it will continue to be savage on the depreciation front,
