What is your opinion on the BMW i8 - Reddit
2023年5月28日 · In fact, the engine ALPINA used was actually the same 2.0 liter turbocharged four-pot that now powers the BMW M135i. Except it was tuned to make around 350 horsepower, rather than the M135i’s 302 horsepower. Throw in the electric motors and the ALPINA i8 was a far more potent machine than its BMW counterpart.
Why Did The i8 Fail? : r/BMW - Reddit
2022年10月27日 · The issue is that people with the affluence to spend $160k++ on a car simply do not consider BMW premium enough. This has been a thing for BMW for decades.

What are your thoughts on the BMW i8? : r/BMW - Reddit
If I could afford an i8 I would buy it. It’s a gorgeous car. Yes it’s not fast, but I wouldn’t need it to be fast or a performance car since I have my E92 335i that I’m currently building for that.
Surprises from BMW i8 ownership, week one (long) : r/BMW - Reddit
2016年1月16日 · Getting in and out hasn't been a big deal. (I'm a short, slim guy, and young enough that I don't have any hip or back problems yet.) Power in Comfort mode can be inconsistent and surprising if you don't commit to the throttle from the get-go, since the gas engine can turn off at stop lights.
Made the mistake of driving the BMW i8 : r/cars - Reddit
It won't be as comfy but it seems like the closest match to what makes the i8 interesting. If the ev bits didn't make it interesting, a Porsche Boxter or F-Type convertible might scratch your itch. They have a very different feel, but capture some of what an i8 is good at. And don't buy a used i8. That sounds like a disaster.
Honestly don’t get the i8 hate, pretty nice overall : r/BMW - Reddit
Look at the B58 let alone S58 hell even the B48 in the I8 would be game-changing. The biggest problem with the I8 was at the time it cost supercar money but lacked the supercar performance. In Canada, an M3/4 will run you 115-120k M5 Comp & CS 140k-180k, so now the I8 would be outperformed unless they make a crazy fast EV and ditch the engine ...
Would you guys buy a BMW i8 for it's current used price ... - Reddit
2020年10月2日 · If, perhaps, some bright, creative engineering-type human was looking for an extended and involved, complex but potentially rewarding, and ultimately super-fun project to work on at home, someone who’s, perhaps, willing to shell out a little to buy a 3.0L I6 (a B58 or maybe N55) for which to swap out the 1.5L I3, then, maybe, at about thirty grand, I’d say an i8 could be a ridiculous deal ...
Should I get a lighlty used i8 as a daily driver? : r/BMW - Reddit
BMW tech here - see if the a/c compressor has been replaced with the updated one. I thinkkkk the designed changed in 5/2017. The compressor internally degrades and ends up, sending shrapnel through the entire freon system, which also cools the hybrid batteries.
How can I justify getting a used I8? : r/BMW - Reddit
You could potentially financially bury yourself with an i8… especially if you get a 2014-2016 with an expired battery warranty. If you ever have issues with the car, you can only bring it to a BMW dealership to have it fixed, and it will not be cheap. If the main battery ever needs to be replaced, that’s an easy $15-20k.
