I saw some one selling BMW i8 year 2017 at the price of RM 500,000. This car was launched in Malaysia at a price of RM1,188,800. After 3 years, the price droppped by approximately RM 700,000. Meaning averagely each year depreciate by RM 200k++. So does it mean that wait for 2 more years can buy it at a price of RM 100,000? I’m so excited to be finally able to own a bmw i8!

u wait 4 years they give u 300k cash when u buy bro

This. Hahaha!

My family owns an i8. The car interior low quality. Chair skin started peeling off. I don't know much about the maintenance or reliability though because I don't drive it too much and it's not exactly my car.

But can get a lot of looks when driving it.

This car... Can't go from KL to Penang island my friend said. I haven't tested. Only good memories of it from mission impossible the touch screen. Otherwise not practical for our shitty roads with potholes

Would rather get a 911

this 1 sure can get chick

Wah.... Can afford i8. You must be very rich then, please let me know the maintenance and battery costs if you managed to find out.
Actually, the most important part is the looks la. Got butterfly doors.

haahhaahahah

Why can’t go from Kl to Penang? It’s a hybrid, not a pure EV.

This car got butterfly doors and when drive this car feels like Tom Cruise yo! Any chicks also can get la...

its a hybrid, perhaps that's why the price drop so much. plus it isn't practical

it is a really confusing car actually...

why not practical?

From a new car RM1.2mil to RM500k less than 5 years.

apa yang confuse?

Why is it not practical? I saw people in the US drive this car as their daily drive. And they call this car a poor man sports car. LOL.

Not to say change battery ... change tyre also I pokai.

Yes, it’s really a bargain if we wait for another 2 years. Everyone can be Tom Cruise

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...

this car?

https://www.facebook.com/adinda.qilla86/pos...458120654627728

I saw a few times in kuchai lama, looks cool from the outside

wait 2 more years price = RM NEGATIVE
u earn

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..

Futuristic design! And butterfly doors!
Really cool.

You actually know someone who dgaf about losing almost RM700k in value?

petrol tank not big enough ? i guess la. max range probably less than 300km

Porsche Taycan Turbo should be in showrooms latest Q3 this year. Delayed a bit due to Covid.

Buy now regret later good luck bro

hurm..... inspirational

What is the RRP? Im dreaming for an M3 G80 now.. but nothing wrong with "upgrading" some a Porsche

The Taycan Turbo S is rumored to start at RM988k. Itu tak masuk the 400V charging system, etc.

Tunggu Taycan 4S la maybe the price less stratospheric

So you are saying that if I target for a BMW M5, I can also look into this Taycan Turbo? I am going to read up on Taycan 4S then, dont know what it is, maybe cheaper? As cheap as M3 that may go for RM700k?

These are all big numbers man, can buy houses

Hahahah. You can afford it la bro. Go for it!

no such thing lah bro...vanilla Taycan 4S stock without option yes at RM9++k. but Taycan Turbo S at least on the road here will be at Rm1.6mill without option. with option + Charger you will be looking at at least RM1.8/9 million.

that is 911 Turbo S money...I would rather take 911 Turbo S anytime.

Near my house in bukit jelutong got 1. Always see him go car wash.

power bank kan ada

rather buy r8 v8 08 for 200k.

rm1mil car, wash rm10?

Bukit jelutong is filled with rich people. Everyday got people send car for auto detailing. Around rm350 per treatment. But seriously tho, it’s annoying because at one spot got around 5-6 car wash open up.

Many people here discuss the viability of the price. If you are even talking about the price, you cant afford it. Its that simple. You are trying to get a car far above your means like a small enterprise boss trying to buy a private jet or a average salary worker trying to buy a BMW. You dont talk price when you buy a private jet, yatch, personal island etc.

Ask johnkor softmod old e90

>BMW
>Resale value


Choose

You have sos meh?

You can always took say the US cost and estimated the price here.

You're probably right. Tax for EV is 10 + 10 + 30 = 50%

I may skip to expect EV type of tax on Taycan.... Hahaha.. Premium brand and very limited selling... The gov can say Nope hahaha... Well got to wait for them to bring it here...

EV infrastructure still sucks here anyway. Most EV here are dragging their weight here and there.

We shall see. Why don't you drop by the Porsche dealerships in Glenmarie and Sg Besi and take a look at their 175kW rapid chargers - Porsche Malaysia has already invested in 4 of these at their dealerships.

I'm not really into EV lor... Better wait for the official release and get the turbo charger.

So camana? Siapa yang betul?
