At the video mark 0:55 -> you claim that i8 has two electric motors powering front wheels. This is incorrect. There's only one motor at the front. Then there's this small generator like apparatus between engine and gearbox (IIRC) acting like starter motor and doing some other stuff, like helping with MAX eBoost. This unit has something like 10bhp.
Thanks for the info! When I was researching the information, it said two motors on one website, but that was apparently incorrect. Appreciate your clarifying that.
What is really missing about i8 is good DYI service / repair videos. I was not able even to find a detailed video of how to replace the kidney grille or take of the bumper on the web. This is an empty niche on TH-cam for sure
That’s a great idea! I’ll ask my BMW mechanics to let me know if an i8 comes in, and maybe I can go over to film some of the things that they are working on. Stay tuned.
Great Car
Couldn't agree more. A real show stopper.
👍👍👍👍
Thank you, brother.
Just sold mine
How was your ownership experience? Sad to part ways with it?
