Sports car in general is not practical. It isn't something you can daily-drive, even sports car owners don't daily drive their sports cars. these cars would be their 5th or 6th car, used only for special occasions

But the i8, while futuristic... isn't exactly a Lambo or Ferrari.. at 500k perhaps a GTR may be a better choice too. So it is in a no man's land... can't please the sports car enthusiast, and can't be daily driven.

car price 100k, maintenance fees 10k per month

BMW i8 is a very modern sport car...a really slick..scisor door coupe with 2+2 sitting.. but the thing is...the design is just doesn't fit for its performance. 0-100 is around 4sec plus which is good but not that good..when you compare it with say...Carerra S within the same price range.

Handling on the i8 is consider the shitties when you compare it with Carrera S or even any other sportscar with that price range..an M4 is cheaper and handling better than the i8 with the stock skinny tires. or pick any 718 cayman or boxter at which much cheaper price than the i8 but has much sportier handling than the i8. Even Cayman and Boxter have a sports car pedigree heritage which the BMW i8 lack of it.

and the sound...i8 with e-motor and 1.5-liter engine from a Mini Cooper doesn't sink well as a sports car. it has a futuristic exterior but the interior bits you can find in the last generation F30 BMW 3 series...is not something a sportscar enthusiast would appreciate. That's why BMW stop production because the demand is diminishing.

Now.. everyone is looking at the Taycan. a real 100% electric. a propper 4 doors sedan (slightly larger than the 3 series and smaller than the Panamera.. 1-100 at 2.6sec and handling like a true Porsche. BMW needs to come out with something better.

oic

wow nice writing!!

u go check conti price. bmw or merc 220k, 3 years become how much. i guess will be 40% discount also

Top up a bit buy x70 cash.... owai

Lmaooooooooo. TS logic hahah

What seems to be strange is people who could afford something like that most likely doesn't give a fuck, only people who couldn't afford it talking smack about depreciation.

lol

can...boleh..lepas tu leh upgrade to INTEL i9 xeon or Theredreeper ker...upgrade RAM .... Pakai PCIE SSD....laju giler bro nanti...

Cheaper to rent.
In the US, there are more people lease this car model.
Same money I rather buy Jaguar F-type or Lexus RC-F and save the rest.

Hahahaha

Yes, this car.

i8 or the Taycan?

i8? Better buy Posh.

When BMW i8 was first launched in the UK, the demand was so high that a used BMW i8 sell at a higher price than a new one. Demand outstrip supply. It was so popular that the waiting period is 1 year for this car.

saw the i8, never seen Taycan, not even at glenmarie area

of course...it has a few cool selling points at that time not only for the cool futuristic design but the carbon monocoque chassis... I think it was the first in on-road production car? at that time...and plus with the first PHEV trend for a sportscar... people buy lor..
