they weren't going for him but for someone else and that's why they were slower. That's what he meant. German Autobahnpolizei (police for the Autobahn) can easily reach 250km/h and is faster as the i8 in the video.
I love the i8 for what it is: A potential future concept of sheer driving pleasure. It's not a BMW M, it's a BMW i. So I get it why it's more of a GT. I think you're right, the looks are still so futuristic, probably never gets old. But to be fair, you don't buy this car for the performance, you buy it to show it. The design and the drama is why you buy an i8. To get performance, just take a M240i for less than half the price. So much understatement and still so much performance, that'd be my choice.
If you put a go pro in the trunk, where there is no speaker, and take just the leather cover off the engine, it sounds the same as what you hear in the cabin. The sound augmentation truly does replicate what you'd hear without all the sound deadening.
Its not meant to be a sports car. Yes its sporty but its not M series, its i series, which is meant to be for everyday drive. This car is the future of cars and bmw predicted it perfectly
I'm driving an i8 as a daily car for four years now and it's a nice car with several significant disadvantages. As mentioned in the video: it's really a GT and not a sports car whatever BMW may say.
@Bartek - If the buyer is happy and enjoys it, everything is great. I've been in a few, driven them, have heard engine running at idle and when driving and truth be told, it does sound very nice in town in sports mode. Did you hear the latest Porsche's with a 4-cylinder? Imho, as long as it's not directly compared to an 6-cylinder, that too sounds great!
But the Tesla will have cheaper materials inside. What Tesla does good in power and max. range they do bad in quality of materials. Tesla is pretty much only interested in acceleration and range and still doesn't give much about materials, clearance between body work parts and so on.
@@zoyaspencer8025 well, that's what you can do as small manufacturer whose investors invested for that. Ford, Nissan, VW and so on can't throw away billions for tech which might be big 20 years in the future (elektro mobility is still small nowadays). They would get destroyed for that from their investors. Their investors want them to produce something which is big now and not in 10+ years. It doesn't really mean that the big car manufacturers couldn't have done it if they would have invested the same 10 years ago. They just couldn't to not get fucked from investors. If you are the only company doing something (like Tesla the last years) you will always find a market but that doesn't mean that everyone could sell 300k+ elektro cars now if every manufacturer would sell them with the same technology, same range and so on. Yes, others are still behind Tesla if it comes to range but yeah, it's not their fault that their investors don't want big investments for something in 10-20 years. Tesla has the same problem in some years when they will sell some million cars and will be profitable on a yearly basis. Then they can't invest anymore in future tech to kill all their profits. Then their investors (which will be different to them now) will complain. But Tesla still needs to get their shit done if it comes to quality of materials. Not everyone wants to buy a Tesla just for "elektro" and doesn't care about the rest. That's for the first 1 millions customers who want a elektro car with decent range so bad. But we have 100 million cars sold each year on this planet and there are millions who don't only look at elektro or not.
It's so cool. And.. Fairly good value for money. I'm getting a 2020 coupe from Colorado, USA. 2020 model. Its about £14000. Including, shipping. Its cheap because, strangely, the i8 is not so popular now in North America. I'd love the roadster. But I need seats for kids and smaller, older folk. Still. They'll get a great ride in this. Love 4 all who love the i8*
But that will ruin the idea/concept ! This car is different for a reason and not trying to compete with any traditional car or Porsche 918, LaFarrari etc ...
@@klausnielsen7102 It would be just a better version of it self..with other needed improvements...but as i tried to buy one the reality of its flaws ended my interest
I came across one of these in Anchorage this summer. A stunning machine. Got interested in looking into it today and who do I come to of course AutoTopNL. I love that. You guys are doing these full reviews as well as top speed tests even night drives it really does gives a perspective. Buyer great overview of the vehicle and not have to listen to a salesman.
The only SUPERCAR I STEPPED INSIDE WITH MY LIL BROTHER 'TILL NOW(end nov 2022) Imma 20 y o AND IT WAS IN AN AUTO EXPO I GUESS 2018/17 IN MOROCCO I AM THANKING BOTH OF THE SECURITY AGENT, THE INFORMATIV PRESENTER RESPONSIBLE EXPERT AND ALSO DADDY ♡

@@AutoTopnl Hi, what camera are you using in this video? I'm impressed by the quality and dynamic range, also the stabilization is very good. I'm hoping to get such camera. Thank you.
I still feel like the i8 is somewhat of a disappointment, awesome technology no doubt but a disappoint nonetheless (could've been BMWs entry into the supercar arena)
thats what i been sayinnnn... i dont know what the hell BMW was thinking... just imagine this car with the E60 v10 engine.. but upgraded.. this car would of been a huge success 😔
The I8 is exactly what it is : a very fuel efficient vehicle. Guys like you get the I8 all wrong thinking it needs to be a hardcore sportscar wich it isnt. This is meant for the conneseur. and not for boy racers that wants to have v8s and inline six cilinder in everything.
nice to see all "the never sit in a - or even own a i8 haters" here lametate about the sound.. congrats to yor i8 .. i own one since 09/2014 number 2 in area frankfurt/ger. and still when i open doors and heare the "gong" the fun starts. best was a lipstick kiss on my doorwindow when i came bach from sports.. thats the acceptance of a i8.
This doesn't intend to be a supercar guys. This intends to be a "gran turismo", something sporty you can curve about beautiful serpentines in the mountains on a sunny sunday afternoon :)
If only they had developed their electric drivetrains and made this fully electric - Imagine Plaid speed with these looks, a lower COG and better tech - or go the other way - lose the rear seats and boot and put a twin turbo V8 with a more powerful electric drivetrain - would be a monster.

I'm a Mercedes guy. But to be honest this car is another level.

The i8 is fireeeee🔥💯✨
can you explain it a little bit better i wanna try it

well said gentleman
You summed it up mate,how much is the price for this beast
@@martinmazivisa1326 new goes for 150k and above, but you can get a used one (2015 above) for like 60/70k to 100k
if it's not a sport's car, it's not anything. That's all it's good for
"i see some blue lights in my mirror but they are not going as fast as we so..."
imagine that in the US.
Schmand lol they would call the national guard and shoot from the window
That is why we do not want to live in the USA....
I'm driving an i8 as a daily car for four years now and it's a nice car with several significant disadvantages. As mentioned in the video: it's really a GT and not a sports car whatever BMW may say.
Pros :
- Design
Cons :
- Price (compared to the upcoming tesla roadster)
- Fake engine sound
Why? A 3-year-old BMW i8 Coupé costs around 60k Euro. Just 60k Euro man...for a car with lambo doors!
@Bartek - If the buyer is happy and enjoys it, everything is great.

this car with the new 3L inline 6 cylinder engine and 510 HP, than i think this car can be a realy good sportscar.
How much is this facelift
Except that this was nver meant as a sportcar.

It is better to have a i8 than a jaguar I pace
Best autobahn channel on TH-cam, most are good but this is great
Definitely buying this car soon
😂 I love your country…. I see blue lights in the mirror, it’s the police but they are not going as fast as we are so it’s not a problem LOL 😅😂
I’m going to buy this car within 3 years 😌
Back in 2014, BMW i8 is look like future car

No

They should have put m5 competiton motor on it
They just need to make it more luxurious

Why don’t you put information about the car and it’s engine in the description? Would be really helpful
It's just a more expensive Mini engine with a battery so who cares
̈ tru but I meant for future videos as well
“ its so fake, that its cool “ - fn brilliant lie
That fake sound inside is great 😂😂
Love this car
If money was no object for me, this would be my dream car😁 One day... Great review video!
You are the best youtuber 😜
That starting up is so futuristic as well as the looking...
I like the i8 so much.
AutoTopNL
Do a night version of this please
This video made me wanna buy the i8! Thanks boss you inspired me to record it and put a video up
I love your vids ❤
Exterior: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Interior: ⭐
I like it a lot but , maybe a litle more power
I have Subaru it has also recorded engine noise when shifting gears because it's CvT
What is the realistic fuel consumption? I found somewhere an average of 11,3l/100km....that would be like my 335i e93 n55.
They need to put B58 into it
Ok I just need get another job and grind hard for 4 years
Which AutoBahn have you taken? Towards Berlin or Cologne?
Never understood why people who don't track with cars care so much about top speed when you're not going to be driving that fast in the first place
that looked super funny when you looked back and there is that giant guy crammed in the back seat
Anychance you could get a hold of a f40 from somewhere and do a autobahn vid ?
this will be my car at 18
It’s face lifted yet where is the newer steering wheel with the paddles shifters with aluminium on the front rather than the back? Just asking.
my dream car , the bmw i8
5:14 that’s me when I skipped one day of school
i wonder what he said :D *something* people :D
Can you disable the fake engine sound ?
No but if you disable sound it will be without any noise
camarade pierre yes by coding it
Wow this is very good car
What do people think about buying one of these used, maybe a 2014 model?
PutSomeDsonThatBlink beats Toyota Corolla 😉🤷🏽♂️
Anyone else always recognize that left turn on to the autobahn because the sun always blinds you right before?
It’s not a sports car and it’s not a GT and thank heaven for that!
nice to see all "the never sit in a - or even own a i8 haters" here lametate about the sound..
congrats to yor i8 .. i own one since 09/2014 number 2 in area frankfurt/ger. and still when i open doors and heare the "gong" the fun starts. best was a lipstick kiss on my doorwindow when i came bach from sports.. thats the acceptance of a i8.
It is not a sports car it is as you said a fun car, a cool car.
Wait , ok so this BMW has only a 3cylinder.... I'm confused can someone please explain....I always thought an i8 had a twin turbo v8
That car is amazing man
Perfect example why BMW should stick making M cars instead of trying to make this kind of car with no soul just for football player with no taste!
I just came from a ferrari 458 video, nothing beats the NA sound...

Why people hate on i8? BMW never said this was meant to be an super car it is not M its i.
Would love to see one of these side-by-side with an M1
Do another video of the BMW I am a big fan of BMW
Is it front or rear wheel drive ?
So fresh... such a fresh vid
Very comfy in the back
Looks amazing
Why make that poor guy sit in the back 😂😂 5:10
Im wondering that too 😂
How much on market price?
yes, very nice. Buy it, store it, I need it...
Yes slow driving but can you buy bugatti chiron
10:11 He looked at you in the back mirror like what the fuck if the police comes Bad Boys, Bad Boys what you gonna do ... ! :))
Love this car, I think BMW could have done so much more with the power train etc... still special though. Love that copper!
Anyone know the location of where this was filmed? It's really nice. Have a great day. :)
