The BMW i8 is the Prius of the supercar world... if you consider it a supercar. It has a carbon fiber chassis, doors that go up, insane good looks, but all of that is coupled with a hybrid system powered by a 3 cylinder range extender. Whether you think it's a supercar or not, I bought this one from @RichRebuilds because I've wanted one since I drove it 3 years ago!

The door struts are not expensive at all provided you replace them yourself. I did my own for about $100.00 each after the local BMW dealer quoted me $1,000.0 with installation. I think they are less than $100.00 now from FCP Euro. Pro tip: Have a friend hold the door up while you do it, or prop it up with something sturdy. I used a stick that I thought was strong enough, but when I removed the strut, the stick snapped and the door came down and whacked me on the head. Luckily, a padded part hit me so no damage done except that I felt like an idiot. I have had my i8 for 5 years now and still look forward to driving it. There is nothing else quite like it.
Who else besides me wanted to see the Harbor Freight shopping trip?
NGL I was looking forward to a trip to HF. It could have been great comedy. But we weren't invited I guess.
Probably weren't allowed to record in there.
naw we don’t care
You can record in HF.... some UA-camrs don't understand what retention means!
Love to see JohnRoss giving these smaller youtube channels their moment in the sun. Hope this Rich guys' channel takes off!
ROFL!!
me too but he already done lots of rebuilds. he currently has made a v8 tesla. he is currently working on a 6x6 diesel tesla and has over 1 Million subscribers his channel is rich rebuilds if u wanna look it up
Rich is not a small youtuber lol. he has a mill subs
😂😂😂😂
Gotta be honest. Never heard of this JRGo guy but found him due to Rich.
The banter😂 Rich took the man's camera! Everyone needs an uncle Rich crossover event
Nice to see Rich doing a colab without a chicken farmer 😂
Oh no! This isn't Sam Crac's old i8 is it?
@@gwilli 😂
@@gwillihe never had an i8
Nice one 😂😂
Black guy and chicken farmers? That's fried
"Look at how clean these seats are - never farted in."
Always a good selling point. 😂🤣
If the struts weren't bad something terrible would happen. So tell Rich thank you.
True that, I’ll send a thank you note 😂
yeah, the thing that's wrong with your car has to be visible and annoying or it doesn't work at keeping the other gremlins away.
You and Rich have a great banter for youtube.
I'd watch you both knocking some hybrid back into life.
Your buddy Rich seems entertaining he should give it a shot and make a UA-cam channel of his own
He already has!
@@kristoffermangila glad he took my advice
@@KenMrKLC he already has for quite some time... check #RichRebuilds
@@KenMrKLC😂
He has and did made a Tesla with a Ls
I like rich, he was one of the first UA-camrs I started watching, when he was trying to get a broken Tesla to work. top bloke
Another collab I didn’t know I needed. Awesomeness! “I am from the Caucasus region” always kills me🤣🤣🤣🤣
I did not expect that. Congrats, JR. I love the i8 and I am glad this one is going to a great home.
The C8 corvette ERay is a hybrid. Electric motor drives the front wheels. Engine in the rear of course. It's does zero to sixty in 2.5 secs. Low 10 sec quarter mile. It's very very quick. The i8 is also a mild performance hybrid.
My two favorite channels together. WORLDS COLLIDING! Wish I had seen you two tooling around in the i8!
A WatchJRGo video not dropping in the middle of the night - what is this sorcery?
Great back and forth there lads. Very funny. I *LOVE* how these cars look. Though Samcrac's experience gave us all pause for thought ...
That i8 has history. Hopefully JR can fix whatever lurks inside that engine compartment.
Was my dream car back in the day, congrats JR! Also a previous Volt owner and a ELR owner (my compromise of getting an i8) - Rivian R1T is now my main vehicle
Will not be a John Ross video without broken struts 😆. Good to see Rich around, and anyone that thinks a car that does 3.9sec 0-60 is slow, needs a brain check.
No Chickens Involved in the recording of this video! 😂
And here I figured Hoovie would be the one to buy this.
5 minutes away, it might end up Hoovie's if he gets the urge to spend more money than he should for the inth time lol.
Rich is sharp & needs to be with you on more collaborations , it's been said already but no Harbour freight trip, that'd been cool & funny with twin gold rapper ratchets 😂
Great purchase Rich is such a character, hilarious.
Best duo ever! Don't even care what you do together, just do more.
Wish you could have done a meet up when you were here. Next time! Enjoy the new ride. I’m glad you got out of Mass unscathed!
*No my back hurts from carrying the entire team*
Lmaooo i love Rich
Rich's videos are always a comedy sketch within a car video. I'm waiting for the punch line.
Ha ha. I was going to say it was bogus. Rich is a stranger!? Ha ha. Sketchy? I was hoping for more yo bro dialogue or some more really sketchy behavior. Ha ha. Aspiring rapper from Kansas!
If Rich and his team fixed it then it is in good shape. I wish i would have bought it. Rich should try to find a wrecked i8 and put a gas powered BMW engine in it and pull out the hybrid stuff.
I would love to see BMW do an i8 with one of their smaller V8 twin turbo engines. The i8 is mostly carbon fiber and with a twin turbo ICE it would scream.
Glad you got it man! I was soooo close to trying to get it but I wasn't feeling the drive home. I might be in Wichita today picking up that 65 lowrider Cadillac. I'll hit you up if you're back.
I’m back 💯
@@WatchJRGo 10-4
it was great to see Rich on your channel. you have a natural present on the video like Rich
That is a beautifully sculpted car body. Saw one when they were introduced. Very cool.
This was the moment that WatchJrGo evolved into WatchJrFlex... The prophecy has been fulfilled!!!
LMAO 😂😂😂
This is Awesome, JR never fails to amaze me with his purchases
I'd love to be able to meet Rich one day. Such a cool and smart guy.
Such an unundertated car, awesome machine, love the i8.
i8 has always been cool. Still looks good to this day while being unique and futuristic but not in a tacky way. Super cheap for only $45k. I haven't watched much of Rich, but he's hilarious
WOW. I watched Rich Rebuilds when he was first starting out rebuilding Tesla's in his garage and driveway. He would try to get parts from Tesla and it was a no go. His wicked sense of humor has not left him🤣🦊
I like Rich, His style and troll way of life really is awesome
I love this car. You fire it up and it sounds like my Mini Cooper!
Rich: “Look how clean these sheets are. Never farted in.” 😂😂😂
Keep sharing your valuable tips, learning a lot from you. Thanks.
My buddy in high school had a chevy sprint with a turbo 3 cylinder. What an absolute engineering marvel..... And power, OMG. LOL
Wow, talk about brother from another mother! Both have the exact same attitude about things. Pity you're so far apart to do more co-labs.
Wichita is the home of FAA world headquarters. When I worked at Collins, we had to deal with them continuously.
I love everything about this video especially the link up 🎉
All the way to Boston? Welcome to my world where gas is expensive, traffic is awful, and the roads suck. Would have been happy to shuttle you around or give you a loaner while you were here.
They don't get much stranger than Rich!
Imagine an i8 with a BMW V8 and a 6-speed manual? Epic!
Personally I could only put up with the sarcastic dialog for so long,
Now Rich can pay for Steven's Legal and medical bills....
he's been real shitty not saying anything about him for updates.
Loved seeing this thing on the road in Massachusetts! Chance encounter passing you on the pike in the 4runner but what a beauty - enjoy!
Awesome video, two of my favorite UA-camrs doing a collab.👍
I know Gloucester Massachusetts when I see it! Hope JR comes to Boston more often. A lot of car enthusiast up here
The "pretty much" at the very last second of the video had me laughing lol
my dream affordable car 😍 . and rich did took care of it real good . congratulations 👏🎉
I used to drive between Wichita and San Diego back and forth. I think it's 1600 miles on the interstate. Took about 24 to 26 hours going straight through. That's not too hard to do when you're under 40.
Does the alternator charge up the hybrid battery on this thing, or are you forced to plug it in when you've used it up?
It just runs on the engine if the battery is low/dead, in sport it does recharge the battery a bit 🍻
Great collab video, shout out to Rich
Rich is amazing. Where can I see more of him?
Awesome car, awesome Collab 🙌
Yo JR‼️ C’mon Uncle Rich is not a stranger. 👍
Congratulations Jr that's a nice car
John never fails to surprise.
Cool ep dude never even heard of a BMW I8, cool car, looking forward to this one. Rich is always a cool entreating dude.
The Ninja would love you for buying it.
this is one of the coolest looking bmws ever. inside and out.
Sweet. So glad you got it.
The i8 is also very cool =) Straight three cylinder engines actually sound very cool, although the turbo does muffle its growl slightly!
Check out the Triumph Daytona 675 or the Street triple with an arrow system here on UA-cam...
Thanks for giving away the address of Rich’s workshop mate. 🤙🏼 even though I am in Australia I now know.
So Alex buys cars from Hoovie, JR buys cars from Hoovie and Rich, Rich buys cars from Sam. Is UA-cam basically just a circle of people passing cars around? 😅
Rich does his work in my hometown JR, hopefully while you were there you ate some GREAT Gloucester seafood.
Look who's cross pollinating with a 1+ million youtuber ! And putting a funky BMW on his channel ! Hope you gain a few K subs ! Best of luck JR !
He reminds me of Quinton tv... Good Dudes !!! Enjoy the new ride !! 206 SEATTLE
Rich and Sam both have secret Sequoias?!?!
Maybe I have a Sequoia too? 😂
@@WatchJRGo what?!?! Literally the best SUV. I have a 2003 with over 200k miles that has been totaled twice (not my fault 😂).
Careful JR that guy deals with a Crac farmer in Florida
The chicken farmer is a wild card 😛
👍👍 Uncle Rich is the man 👍👍
A 3pm upload? Thanks for the content on this boring Friday!
🥈 figured I better let it drop while I’m driving home!
@@WatchJRGo probably a good idea. You know you'll be seen driving at some point on the trip.
I expected Hoovie to show up or maybe The Wizard. Lol. It's fun seeing you guys from the various channels interact. 👍☺️
What’s the make of that steering wheel? Is it AZA?
i LOVE the i8s. They are not very common in Australia so when you see one it really catches your eye
Well there's a character that's fun to see on here. All the car guys are trading toys lately 👍
Lol, did Rich just take your camera and start filming his own segment? 😂😂😂
Boston Guy next time...love to see ya
I have one of those BMW's that does the Relax or Invigorate driver thing. The relax thing is by far the best and turns the climate control into a woodland breeze...on, off, on, off....lovely.
That guy is hilarious. You should do more colab videos together.
Tbh I had a 118i 1 series with that 1.5L 3 cylinder turbo and I miss it! I loved that car! Especially when it gave weeeeee small tiny blow off noises!
Finally, a Kool video. Rich was Ritch, nuff said.
Can't wait to I get one next ye🤴🏾💯 great video guys👍🏽
You guys need to sign the car. This i8 will be automotive history.
Yeah my 1988 Pontiac Firefly was a 3 cyclinder Turbo as well..
19:44 I’m glad you bought it! 😂
I knew the next video would be an airplane, but I thought you’d be flying it !!! Let’s gooooo
What is that opening track JR chefs kiss 🤌🏽
Dude, you left us hanging. I thought you were gonna start your way home
It's the next video 🍻
HRE’s and the drop made that prius appealing!
that was awesome seeing you guys on this video lol, cant wait to see what you do with it, but hey def get some wheels lol. some volk te37's would look sick
Guy looks sketchy for sure! Love Rich and get well soon Stevon.
That thing feels more like a plane than a car. Amazing...
I love Rich and all his Volvo videos. ;) (pick up the sarcasm I'm laying down)
Hope you at least got Olive Garden and some bread sticks for what you’re about to go through.
Hahahahahahahhaha, you didn’t say that
The best crossover event since Spiderman
Caucus mountain region 😂😂
3:20 “everyone look alike” bingo. 😂
