We kick off our 34th season with a look at the future of enthusiastic motoring in the BMW i8.

Something old, Something new. Something borrowed, Something BMW!

[Stig]

I wonder if it's possible to buy the I 8 crate engine because that would look nice in my e30

[flossin]

Too expensive for only a 1.5L, i love the looks but thats it. Id rather buy a c8

[canto_v]

"MotorWee" I see what happened there!

[joshuaoblon]

135k and still a manual adjusting steering column, real nice

[miami]

That price is way too high. There are better vehicles to pick compared to this thing.  

[DSNCB]

Reminds me a but of an audi r8.. either way this is much more interesting than that ugly i3

[cbach]

A "fraction" of the cost of other plug in supercars...well if you consider a Tesla P85D goes for that, I guess 1/1 is still a fraction if you write it out that way.

[geerage]

sub 13 1/4 miles and sub 4.5 0 - 60 ... that is fast and those numbers are supercarish if u ask me .. 

[OviWanKenoi]

Def not a supercar. I can't wait until I can get an affordable performance hybrid though.. I'm hoping when they put a new engine in the WRX STI it will be something like this.

[NismoFinder]

My '11 Audi S4 is Just as fast, performs equally in handling, is probably more comfortable, is just as good looking (in my opinion), is a fun 6-speed manual, can be driven in blizzards, gets almost 30 mpg highway And is $80K cheaper than this thing! The i8 is a neat car, no doubt...but I think I'll stick to my much more practical Audi.

BMW business as usual.
Oh no Electronics!
BMW can’t Electronics.
What a pity, this car has lots of it.
Crap right out of the factory.
If a company which develops and produces cars doesn’t have solutions for their problems, no one else will have.
If you find one i8 that actually works, lucky you.

[Rondaxx]

a supercar can fly.... this one is way too cheap thats close to that other melone shaped tesla car with the looks of a hamburger

[alexklein]

Looks like it's shitting out a Porsche 911

[venom]

"engine noise pumped into the cabin"- puke. This thing is seriously ugly and seriously overpriced. For that kind of money I want a proper supercar with a proper engine. Who cares if it is not a hybrid, electric, whatever, it is not like those types of cars are daily drivers anyway.

The BMW i8? More like the BMW I hate!
