Nearly new i8 s are looking cheap
Discussion
The I8 is an excellent choice, I have one, purchased second hand two years ago and it’s not depreciated so bad during my ownership. Most people who actually own one and have driven one are very impressed. I don’t think you can go wrong, exceptionally reliable especially compared to my M3. All my experience, I am sure some will disagree.
I bought my wife one a year or so ago. I drive a LP560-4 and I can honestly say I prefer her i8. Best BMW to drive. Had most of the M cars and the i8 is just sharp, direct and an absolute hoot to drive. Good value now, even £50k will get a good one. Can't see them depreciating much more than the early ones now, esp. now the MVision is not to be. Lot of chat ref. this on the fb groups
Yes, great cars. Lots of whingeing on the internet about how they are not super cars and way too expensive new. Both statements are correct but unlike something like an Audi R8, you can easily use it every day for long commutes for very little expense and normal car maintenance....assuming you buy used!
If you get one, subscribe to this guy's youtube channel. Pat knows more about i8's than most dealers!

Main dealer car. How do they expect anyone to take them seriously?!?

Has anyone driven a Ferrari California and an i8 roadster ? I wonder how they compare
Yes, completely different to be honest. i8 wins as a daily, the Cali is the better car though imo. i8 is more go-cart like. Running costs differ greatly obviously. You have to be a little more conscious where you leave the Cali and we experienced some negativity from joe-public. Never had that in the i8 or the Lambo yetGassing Station | BMW General | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
