After a very fun 15,000 miles, the i8 continues to be an exciting attention-getting vehicle. It's a daily driver to work and errands. As a coupe rather than concertible I can easily fit 6-8 bags of groceries in the back seat and a few other things in the rear storage behind the gas engine. Easy to charge at home after dinner . Not designed for adults in the back seat. When driving people film and take pictures on the road and/or selfies when parked. I recommend Winter tires go one around Thanksgiving for those under 40 F . Winter tires in Indiana Nov- March and summer tires spring-summer. Car is amazingly quiet and comfortable. Not very many on the road so get ready to constantly be asked questions wherever you go. Great car Much like the instrumentation my 2018 440 convertible Handles great city or highway Amazing build quality and puts a smile on your face every time you go to the garage Best High performance car we've owned for looks and performance

This car is eye-catching, fun to drive, and stands the test of time. I don’t know of anyone who didn’t have to have work done in the first 70,000 miles, so be prepared for some service visits as you put on the lower miles. The good thing is, I also don’t know anyone who had any issues after the first 70,000 miles! Once you get to 70,000, it seems all the break-in issues fade away and you’re left with an awesome exotic car. So if you’re buying used and plan to actually drive it, consider one with slightly higher miles too.

This car is great fun to drive and looks sexy but it's really hard to get into and even harder to get out of. I was going to buy it until I got in and out a few times and my back was already sore. There aren't many of seat adjustments to make it more comfortable either. Bought a Jaguar F-type instead.

First let me say I am coming from a BMW 645CI to a I8 so my review can be harsh at times on the I8. I'm not going to go over the cool factor or all the other things everyone else has gone over on the web or youtube about how cool it is or how great the car is but from a drivers point of view. First lets get one thing straight getting in and out is a pain at first but you do get used to it. The gas millage is good over all and you won't complain. Driving on electric only is kind of fun and the car is very quite other then the sound of the road. I was able to get about 16 miles on e-Drive only so it's great for short trips. It comes with all the nice interior features all BMW's come with. Getting used to the controls took some time getting used to (Starting the car and changing modes). Now for the ride. I found the I8 steering to be very good but the ride was a bit hard and bumpy (the 645CI I rides on the road smoother). While it does have power as others have said at times it feels that it is lacking. As a daily driver the I8 works very well and you should have no problems other then parking issues at times if someone parks to close to you and you are not able to open the door. The other issue you will have which is minor is the looks and questions on the car or wow that's a cool car quotes from everyone. Over all the I8 is a good car (Not great) but you should be pleased if you get one. I think in the future BMW will improve on there e-cars to the point where they are on the same par as there gas cars.
