I’m curious why all of these i8 haters are reading the i8 forums?

One of my neighbors has the roadster it still looks great. The i8 never aged a day.
The problem was the powertrain and price. They should have gone full EV or full gas. Either make something as revolutionary as Tesla or give us a proper sports car. Instead they got too cute and it bit them in the end.

i really feel like the market segment is a bit awkward and lukewarm. i've only seen one at the track so far, and it was mediocre there as well. we were about the same in acceleration, but the i8 was seriously lacking in the corners due to the skinny tires. it was obvious the car wasn't cornering well and understeering like crazy.

Doesn't mean much but seems strange since they went through all the development of the roadster only to stop production after it hasn't even been out for a year.

It's on the front page of the site. So we come in to give an internet opinion.

The dinosaurs didn't get that "driver's car" isn't enough anymore. Cars are required to support fleet emission numbers, safety for less and less experienced drivers as driving becomes less important in the current generations, etc., etc. In this over determined system of requirement, every single dimension will always feel not completely optimized. Once you build a "driver's car" you needed to violate safety, price, emissions, ... Haters typically didn't get that they missed how the world got more complex and their intellect didn't keep up.

No criticism from this i8 owner unfortunately ;-)
I'm very grateful BMW decided to develop the car exactly as is! And by not putting a 4, 6 or v8 in it. Those people comparing it to an overweight Tesla/Taycan are missing the point completely too. The CFRP/aluminum construction, looks, easy-to-drive, usability, top build quality, low cost (used car, insurance, road tax and maintenance) make it THE car for me. Again, great value for money (used) and future potential :-) |

Electric golf carts have been around for many years. A carbon fiber hybrid like the Porsche 918, Ferrari SF 90, or the Koenigsegg Regera at a price you can afford. That’s revolutionary. Haven’t seen any Teslas on the race track either. Last edited by Coastali8; 03-12-2020 at 10:43 AM.. |
