It is beautiful; but not the best looking BMW. BMW 6 series and 5 series are the most beautiful ones in my opinion. This comes third. But I respect your opinion.
Julio Pacheco There is something off about the rear end.. tail-lights or something.. don't really know . Maybe just need see it in person and in different colour. Striking design though :)
This car is amazing........ it gets great gas mileage and its fun as hell. My neighbor bought one and i had a ride. Iv been addicted to it ever since. I did not like this thing at first, but then I realized that its where the automotive industry is going. And tbh, I love it. This car will turn more heads than any other car, trust me. Take a ride in one someday and then make judgements. Dont judge too soon all you people who dont like it, its a great car in my opinion. Good job BMW
This is hands down my favorite BMW! It's electrical, sporty and it looks awesome! I've only seen one i8 in real life so far, and I could just stare at it. That's how awesome the i8 is!
+Danial Bun Sometimes you don't really have a choice in some urban city areas. He has a good point and It would defiantly be something to consider when looking to buy one.
+Demon50 how short sighted do people have to be to say, "I just would park next to anyone." Right...cause when you bought the i8 it came packaged with the world as well.
Probably one of the best looking cars ever made. If this body was fitted with a v8 engine or maybe a twin turbo v6 like the GTR, it would actually fun to drive and would be my new dream car. Im pretty sure I can speak for most car enthusiasts when I say we are not excited about 3-cyl and/or electric motors.
Excellent Video Kyle! I have to admit that this is one BMW, and hybrid for that matter, that I would most definitely drive. Its really cool to learn how they designed it from scratch and used all sorts of unique processes to make it!! Keep up the good work and I look forward to your next video!
I can't help feeling this is some sort of milestone for you. I mean the Bugatti, that was great but is kind of forgotten abit now don't hear about it as much as we used to. But this, to be able to review the most innovative and industry changing car at the moment must be a great moment for you.
As usual, great car review. The Tesla P85 seems like a bargain given the price of the i8. I'd also add that I think the Tesla is just a better looking car.
Tejas Tasgaonkar Because both represent a new era in automotive technology. So the tesla is much quicker, more practical and cheaper than the BMW. That is why you would compare them.
who are those idiots who don't know the difference between a sports car and a solon? where do arseholes like you live? I bet everything you are american. "the volvo s80 seems like a bargain given the price of the porsche 911" that's basically what you said you fucking tesla fanboy. it's fun in your cult but stop speaking out loud what goes on in your head.
Let's compare, yes the Tesla is faster. Does it turn better, no. Does it handle better, no. Does it have even 10% of the features the i8 does, no. Does it predict road bumps and change the suspension so you don't feel them in comfort, no. Does it do both gas and electric, no. Does it get people to turn there heads, no. The auto driving? I8 can auto drive on the highway (To a limit) and traffic. It won't auto drive in normal streets, which is something Tesla has over it. For someone who wants both the sporty feel with tons of features while still being able to drive to work on electric, then yes the i8 would be a better car.
So now they call trim levels "worlds"? What is the world coming to, Super Mario for adults??? I'm not entering the 10.8K "pure impulse world" without my flying cape!
I love these new electric cars, but for fucks sake why do u have to make the exhaust sound like your standard prius!?!?? If i want a fancy sports car i want that shit to be loud as hell
This has got to be a concept, it doesn't look like something that would be production. It looks way to futuristic for it to be 2014/15. Maybe in 10 or 20 years, but not now.
I mean im only for American cars, but the germans knocked this out of the ballpark, now if only Volkswagen could put forth this effort, they might be cooler, but no by much
Dear Mr. Narrator of this fine video, you did a fine job introducing us to this car. Very detailed and it answered all of my question. But, your voice technique really needs work. Your fluctuating voice, with constant accents is over used. It makes you sound like you are some old time elixir salesman or somebody selling a sideshow act at the circus. I did find that you spoke clearly even though you spoke fast and had a lot to say in the 32+ minutes. For that, well done. Please, don't get offended, just lower your guard long enough to take some constructive criticism. I really enjoyed the detail of your review and would love to subscribe if this is what you have to offer, but there is no way I could listen to your narration long term. I will have to check back again. Thanks.
You really think he is going to take your random thoughts into consideration? over 500k subs, you really think he is going to change what he finds success in?
My wife said about the same thing. I just gave my opinion with zero expectations. I would hope that even successful people would be strong enough to take constructive criticism. I have read similar, but not as nice, criticism in the comments. But, hey, I wont lose any sleep over it. I expect defensiveness, but hope he is willing to consider some self examination. If not, the world will keep spinning.
It's official, BMW is off its meds. Who on earth is paying $150k for a three cylinder hybrid, no one, hence the auto trader is full of used I8 with 800 miles on the odo or obvious buyer remorse
+carlos hernandez The engine sound is "enhanced" through the stereo because I've heard Vespa Scooters with better exhaust note. Look it's quirky and unique with an overly complex(read expensive) drivetrain. Hardly an Ultimate Driving machine.
I like it. 4 second 0-60 and great mileage. 911 money. The future is here and performance cars will continue to be with us (fortunately). I still remember the doomsayers back during the first oil crisis lamenting the end of performance cars. Now you can get 70mpg, eco friendly and 12 second 1/4 miles all in one vehicle. Plus they are MUCH safer and more comfortable.
Farie Indriawan You won't be able to fit that bitch in there... You'd lose the back seat, and it just wouldn't work... Maybe, with a shit ton of modding, but then you might as well buy a sports car with a v10 to begin with.
By far one of the coolest interiors I've ever seen
the 2016 M6 is much better
+carlos n This is better.
+KayScotts Any Audi had much better interior
+Gabriel Ruiz That's a good one
+ali naqi eww that looks ugly the bmw is better than the bmw 7
Here before the xxx comments start popping in.
Dauge Yo I'm here because he sampled the BMW sounds for his Music.
Dauge Yo hi 😭
Everyone gangsta until jah rolls up the comments
I'm here mainly because of the epicest startup sound
It’s so annoying. Like who cares.
Great job finding a way to get this car reviewed, Kyle!
1blackone Thank you!!!
Xxxxtentacion was murdered in one of these cars.
Rip xxxtentacion I will remember this car that x had
damn u beat me to it jonathan
that's the only reason I'm watching this video because I just found out on Instagram today
He sampled the startup sound for SAD
Did you know that x made sad off the car sound
Beautiful desing, best of all BMW series
It is beautiful; but not the best looking BMW. BMW 6 series and 5 series are the most beautiful ones in my opinion. This comes third. But I respect your opinion.
Car info My favorite was the 6 series, but this design exceeded my expectations. However, to my everyday life would end choosing a 6 or 5 series :)
Julio Pacheco There is something off about the rear end.. tail-lights or something.. don't really know . Maybe just need see it in person and in different colour. Striking design though :)
BluWarta92 I´m sorry to tell you this, but if you look with a little bit of imagination you can see that it is giving birth to a Porsche 911 :s

i agree!
I love the noise it makes when it starts up for some reason it sounds so futuristic.
The startup really does sound like the beginning of SAD!
Yeah he sampled it
Rocroo he sampled it
He took a sample and used it
SAD!
Psycho Lover duh
Psycho Lover you heard it tooo!!!! 😭
Yes 😭
Psycho Lover facts! RIP X
On the bright side, we’ll be able to recognize each other and all the other X fans if we get our hands on this car
If I open my doors like that, all of my quarters would fall out

Toby Williams lol
Lol.
Wait then I can't park close to cars and open my doors without hitting then. Oh wait I don't have to worry about that because I'm not getting the car
Why would you park this car next to any other cars in the first place?
+Danial Bun
Sometimes you don't really have a choice in some urban city areas. He has a good point and It would defiantly be something to consider when looking to buy one.
+Demon50 how short sighted do people have to be to say, "I just would park next to anyone." Right...cause when you bought the i8 it came packaged with the world as well.

What’s wrong with a 1990 Civic? 😂

This is a hybrid. Tesla is a pure electric. Why even compare?
also it is a full sized sedan

I love how creative X was when he sampled the bmw start up and it’s sad because he was killed in his bmw
LLJ 🕊
that's the best and most futuristic looking car I have ever seen.
I like it. It screams 'tech', and I'm a tech head. I sympathize with gear heads though - pretty clear why they hate modern cars.
I'm both.

This is my dream vehicle! Brilliant job bro.
X sampled the car start up sound in his popular song “SAD”
This is a gorgeous BMW, if it were below 100k i'd buy it in a heartbeat.
At 3:51, what is that old car sitting there?
Neighborhood Car Reviews volvo?
Markybug1973 Ah.

Best reviews on UA-cam! 👍
Omg all you x fans. This is a car channel not talking about his death 🙄 Rip X but still
BMW been making some huge power moves.
Bruh the seatbelt sound is the beat to SAD!
Modded Moon it is from sad and this car was made before that song

I usually don't care for newer futuristic cars, but man I want this in my life!
i got this car and it is amazing! i love to drive around with my friends! one time i let the girl of my dreams into the car until i woke up ):

I need one just because of that startup sound.
I love these new electric cars, but for fucks sake why do u have to make the exhaust sound like your standard prius!?!?? If i want a fancy sports car i want that shit to be loud as hell
Maaz Sharief it's a eco hybrid with sporty styling not a sport/performance car.
True that
Its a three cylinder dude. The fact you can even hear it is a miracle
Dante Planeta ha, i wuld love to know which prius i could get to sound half as good as that.
It gas a smaller engine than a prius and it sounds beter then a prius also
Great review Kyle!!!! You sure do know your stuff! This is a truly fantastic car!
U guys are here like it's an x memorial lmao
this car is INCREDIBLE. nuff said
This has got to be a concept, it doesn't look like something that would be production. It looks way to futuristic for it to be 2014/15. Maybe in 10 or 20 years, but not now.
I know, but just looking at this thing, I cant believe it looks like this. it looks like a car that would of been in iRobot
countcomedy lol i KNow ... It blew my mind to see it on an actual road
I mean im only for American cars, but the germans knocked this out of the ballpark, now if only Volkswagen could put forth this effort, they might be cooler, but no by much
If you thought this was the concept, then imagine the actual concept of this car.Lol.
French montana bought one
i remember when they first showed the concept on auto show.i was SOOOO excited!
Nadeshot got one of these over a Tesla...
*****
Yeah and his M3 was sort of meh when compared to the other OpTic guys' cars. A Tesla would have been a really good upgrade and more practical.
He said he wanted some different, there's teslas all over LA

Different is overrated
P3 Gaming lmao
+P3 Gaming Personally, I'd have gone with a Tesla as well, but maybe he wanted a hybrid over full electric?
one of the coolest looking cars i ve ever seen
I think BMW should have made this vehical a sedan because it is a verry beautiful car

You’re shpheliing is therribhle

91 octane? Are you kidding? We don't have anything below 93 in Europe. Not that it would make that much difference :P
P2nkzSB That was shocking when I drove the Gumball rally, our octane levels are so much lower haha. My charger RT runs on 87 :)
*****
I guess thats why your gas is so much cheaper?
+P2nkzSB :) RON measurement is used in Europe, AKI (R+M)/2) - in the U.S. :)
RON 91=AKI 87
RON 95=AKI 91
RON 98=AKI 93
Octane is measured differently in the US.
soklot lots of things are cheaper in USA vs Europe lol, one of the perks!
I found that it's a popular way to show you the most direct effect.
Looks likes something from Tron
