BMW i8
 

Car was in for service today so walked around to the BMW dealership next door. Nice black, BMW i8 coupe.
Looked very tasty, dealer said only had a 3 cylinder engine, but part hybrid. Anybody know anything about them?
.

One of the directors at a company i worked for back in about 2015 had one when they first came out.

They looked nice but i came to the conclusion it was a sporty car trying to be and look like a super car. Never driven one so can’t really comment but they seemed very appealing for a short space of time and then they seemed to have turned into the forgotten car.

I imagine one day they will be a future classic.

Top Gear played with it in 2014

Thanks Red Baron, really interesting video.The one I looked at was a black coupe and it looked the bees. Think I'll probably stick with the Scooby.

i tried to stop one once on the new bypass my poor old focus diesel couldnt keep up
Never driven one thought but we do have some silly little i3 electric cars and they are great for whizzing around the town in
