Can't be a bad car if the first owner decided to do 160k miles in it in 7 years - that's a lot of driving for a car like this.

As someone who recently got an i8 and daily drives it, it is refreshing to see one with that many miles on it!

Absolute perfect high mileage example of a car

I thought the batteries would need changing after a while! Good to see a high mileage one still going! Hybrid or not 👍

Usually prefer high mileage well looked after to a lower mileage damage repaired or lacking history...thanks for sharing and for the effort that goes into making it

I don't think you're "bloody mad" Calvin.
It's a bloody gorgeous car!
For the mileage, it looks like a excellent buy!
I think that as a Grand tourer, it does the job beautifully.
As a daily driver it has it pegged too.

I got an i8 in Feb 2015, (64 reg) normally change my car every 3 years, but kept mine for 5 years. One of the best cars I ever had. Changed it for an 8 series convertible as the finance costs on a new i8 were stupid due to depreciation. Miss my i8 but do like the 8 series.

I actually quite like these. And I reckon hybrids are the way to go as a pose to pure electric so as to make longer journeys more feasible until the battery tech is all the way there. Thing is if for some reason the grid went down it’s not such a huge issue if you have a hybrid

I have a protonic red one. Amazing car, the styling, the doors, the power to economy is absolutely great but the handling is just as good and it’s also very comfortable and full of tech (although blindspot assist would be a welcomed addition). For someone like me (27 years old, no kids, have to travel 40 miles 4 days a week to work) it’s the perfect daily/everyday sports car.

What a cracking piece of kit. Only 360 bhp but can beat an S4 after 161k miles. BMW quality shines through again. Love this car lots. £30k? Bargain.

Loved this vid 😁😁 Great enthusiasm and energy for the i8! Awesome. Literally just jumped on here to look for a couple review vids after seeing a couple on Trader. Thinking a 19 plate i8 might satisfy some car love and might also keep my employer with their ridiculously strict CO2 limits satisfied. How quickly did this one sell I wonder.

FairPlay to you Calvin, you do buy a really interesting variety of stock. That shows a true car enthusiast enjoying every part of what they do right up until the cars are united with the new owner!

In sport charging it'll use more fuel so better off charging it with the cable if you want to maximise the electric mpg

i love high mileage cars, a bit of a gamble but you can get a premium level car for working man money.

I believe the bargain price reflects the possibly crippling cost of any repairs especially electrical .

One of the nicest looking cars ever made
