    Why does people complain about why BMW does not make super car? BMW does not need to make a super car simply because all their cars are super and they have the performance of a the super car and are better design. So I think in the today's automotive there is car, super car, hyper car, F1 car .....and BMW ultimate driving machines yes it is! I'm very prod and happy to see the BMW machines on the roads and time to time I believe that the BMW machine is a gift from GOD.

    I hate to say, but you need to learn how to drive it. It is not a sports car? I suggest you tell that all the Porsches that can not get away from me on mountain roads. It has similar performance characteristics (sans top speed) as the new Cayman GT. Sports mode, manual gears and it is a sports car, and not a lower end one either. It is NOT a supercar (sadly no higher power version coming), but it IS a sports car.

    I own a 2020 i8 Roadster for about 9 months now and I absolutely love it. To comment about you not hearing the engine and it doesn't feel sporty you can choose to make it feel sporty by switching it to sports mode and then manual gear mode. I do that almost everyday and it has much more torque and acceleration on the line. I have kept up or beaten most cars in manual sports mode. I solely bought mine in Las Vegas because everyone rents lambos and ferraris here. The i8 is just as beautiful as the best of them and no one can rent it. Not to mention they only made a few thousand of them and now I bought mine to be a collectable. I have had 0 issues and I drive the thing to the dirt sometimes even take it on my hiking trips with the top down is so much fun. Best car I have ever owned and my previous car was the Mercedes Maybach S600 much more expensive and I hated it.

    Actually, they closed off the hole in the front bonnet due to the roadster. The front grilles are the same and closed off except the slit at the bottom is all that’s needed.

    • @888mf4
      @888mf4  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      The way the Roadster vents excess heat from the front motor is different to the coupe. Without a roof, heat from the original car’s bonnet vent found its way into the cabin, so the new Roadster vents it under the car. The underbody is more aerodynamic to aid the new airflow, and because it’s marginally more efficient, you’ll find the same solution on the newer Coupes.
