A USED BMW I8 IS THE BARGAIN OF THE CENTURY!

EV Channels Review

The BMW i8, despite its initial underappreciation, is presented as a remarkable bargain in the used car market. The reviewer highlights its exceptional performance, often exceeding its on-paper specifications, particularly when launch control is engaged. The futuristic and timeless design is lauded, with the car still turning heads and eliciting questions about its price, which has significantly depreciated. Comfort for long journeys is a strong point, with good visibility, compliant ride quality, and decent ground clearance. Fuel economy is impressive, averaging around 38 MPG, with a usable electric-only range of about 15 miles. Reliability is surprisingly good, with few common issues reported, provided the car is driven regularly. The i8's versatility is its greatest strength, excelling in city driving, highway cruising, and spirited spirited drives in the twisties, offering communicative steering and a fun driving experience. The reviewer concludes that the i8 is a misunderstood and underrated car, offering supercar looks and performance at a fraction of the cost of its contemporaries.
