Pros & Cons of BMW i8
Things We Like
- Futuristic styling makes it stand out in front of more capable and similarly priced supercars
- The BMW i8 is not only fast but extremely frugal as well, with a nearly 50kmpl certified fuel efficiency figure
- Significantly green compared to other performance as well as regular cars with combined CO2 emissions of 50.369g/km
- Lightweight construction with an amalgamation of a carbon fibre passenger tub and an aluminium chassis
Things We Don't Like
- Given the exclusivity the i8 holds, BMW should’ve featured exclusive parts on the inside as it has several common components from the BMW parts bin
- The exorbitant price tag makes it fall into better-performing supercar territory
