Actually sounds pretty cool and the turbo whistle is excellent. These cars are slept on because they don’t have bigger engines but I think they’re sick. Beautiful cars as well.
Supercar looking... But it's as fast as an old 370z or any entry level sportscar that costs half as much new. The power and sound really don't match the looks unfortunately, but it dropped in price a lot especially before covid so if you like the design, it's attainable
@@iSOBigD It’s as quick as any sports car of the time. 911s, other M-Division cars, the R8 lineup of the time all did 0-60mph in about 4s. People are just giving it shit because it’s a 3 cylinder turbo.
@@airforce660-60 isn’t the power rating people do. It has awd. Look at its 60-130. It’s slower than every super car in the metric. 60-130 is the only thing that matters.
@@2seep 80-120kph times is still on par with cars like the M4, 991 GTS, R8 V8. Anything over 160kph/100mph works against the i8’s early electric powertrain.
I was so excited when i first saw the look of them. Woulda been bmw's best ever car if they stuck a v8 inside of it. I wonder why they dont make a new v8 i8 nd call it a p8 😂
It doesn’t sound too bad giving me Toyota vibes 🤣😆can’t believe BMW didn’t make this car a v8 and make a line of them in the way Chevy is exploiting their new c8design 🤷🏾♂️
What I would like is those tips to be on the left and right side. Right where the black bumper aerodynamic plastic pieces are. The job is awesome no matter what.
you can install FIA racing cats those at 100CPSI are the same as straight pipes in terms of flow and sound, and will burn some HC , might even pass emissions
In my country , used i8 go for like 79k and under , i am talking about the 351hp version And i am 15 so i think i8’s gonna be more cheaper when i get my license at 17
Thanks for sharing!! I thought the Vroom-vroom from the i8 came from the internal sound system (prior to muffler delete of course)? We had a BMW driving event at work back in 2015 or so and were allowed to drive both the i8 and the i3 around the 1.5 mile perimeter road on our work campus. I tried both, thought that the i3 was kind of a joke (I was driving a Nissan LEAF at the time, which was much more of a real car). The i8 was cool, but my tall, round, inflexible carcass could barely get in and out of it.
@@dancearoundtheworld5360 what u even talking about. obviously the car is a 3 cyl hybrid. they only say it ab 40 million times in the video. it’s gas. I said it sounded like a diesel. no need for the correction.
It's a hybrid. It has a 1.5 liter, 3 cylinder turbo engine in addition to an electric motor (and a 7.1 to 11.6 KWh battery). There's a wiki page dedicated to it if you want to learn more.
Mine does 0-60mph in 4s, 155mph, thats not bad for a 10 year old car. There are a lot of supercars with similar performance, maybe less than 0.2 to 1 second faster 0-60. Some are slower and have FAR bigger engines and worse MPG.
@@Pickitup_putitdownThis is your car? It looks awesome, great taste in style! Could you share what brands the body kit pieces and the wheels are? I’m currently shopping for an i8 and researching their aftermarket options

Great work, and actually sounds pretty good! Not expecting that sound...
3 cyl motors very often sound good
That turbo sounds remind me of a nsx
being na lol
@@AntowQa newer nsx they are hybrid
@@Scallywag94 my bad. i was thinking about first gen
Someone push this platform so it can be deemed a supercar because it’s already gorgeous just needs a heart now👀
not me checking online to see what I8s go for
Yooooo ❤😂😅
😂a lot
A arm and a leg😂
@@im_cursed_huh9926only 60k
Too much for u
Fuck, those engines sound great under load.
Was about to comment the same thing, not a bad entry level supercar!

This car looks so good
until you look inside 🤣🤣
Never really liked i8s but this one just changed my mind.

They actually don’t sound bad
Doesn't sound good either ..lol
@@bossalinedezzI found the nerd
Yeah i like 3 cylinders, for the sound and the fuel economy 😎
I was going to say the same thing. Sounds much better than half the 4 cylinders straight pipes
@@bossalinedezzthat's your opinion...lol
Man, this is how the car should've sounded from factory and I loved how what this person did to it, lowered + spaces with some exterior mods🥰😍
Kinda sounds like a 4bt Cummins almost
Holy shit it really sound sound like a 4BT
It doesn’t sound too bad giving me Toyota vibes 🤣😆can’t believe BMW didn’t make this car a v8 and make a line of them in the way Chevy is exploiting their new c8design 🤷🏾♂️
If I'm not mistaken this is the same motor used in the 3cy mini cooper just wth hybrid system paired to it
This is the right intrusive thoughts winning today. 😂🎉
This right here puts a smile on my face
It seems like one tiny wrong measurement wpuldve made the tip off center, well done
Is it just me, or does it sounds like it's farting on every gear shift? lol
It's a 3 banger, of course it does
Lolll yeah it did
Just wait until you hear dct/dsg fart. I think they sound terrible, worse than this.
Love those upshift sounds!
Better than I thought it would be
WOW!! that sound really good!! I'm thinking about straight piping my i8 also, now knowing how it sound. I'm going to do it now. Thanks for the video..
Awesome work, EA team. Love it!
Glad you enjoy it!
I miss my I8 sometimes. That didn't sound Bad at all Btw
You must have drank from the fountain of youth, you sound 20 years younger
LOL I like our other guy way better too
How in gods name did they manage to make it sound like a big rig when it revs
How much for this exact job on my I8 id love to come by
Most beautiful car I ever seen
Dude bmw needs to make another one maube refresh the looks a lil. It would sell so well. What an amazing looking car
To believe you can get one in the low to mid 30k range is insane
Cleanest I8 I ever seen
What I would like is those tips to be on the left and right side. Right where the black bumper aerodynamic plastic pieces are. The job is awesome no matter what.
Damn surprisingly I like the way it sounds!
About how much did this cost you?
you can install FIA racing cats those at 100CPSI are the same as straight pipes in terms of flow and sound, and will burn some HC , might even pass emissions
I love the M5 sedans more, but this is still a good sounding BMW.
I hope you guys get a GR corolla. They sound awesome! Alot like this i8 does.
Very similar because they are both 3cyl
In my country , used i8 go for like 79k and under , i am talking about the 351hp version
And i am 15 so i think i8’s gonna be more cheaper when i get my license at 17
Looks great. Civic type r tips look good
You guys really need to invest in a mandrel bend set up. Time to step up the game fellas. Great work as usual 👌
Maybe one day!
Damn that’s clean and sounds great! Kinda looks like a body of a LFA.
wow wasn't expect that !!
Sounds like a semi truck. Sounds good
The most impressive i8 i’ve ever seen and it sounds great though i’m not a fan of those 👍🏻🔥
What’s your suspension setup ? Looks sick
I put a milltek exhaust in mine. Would this make that sound even better? Sorry. I’m new at this stuff
What kit is that??

Didn’t think I’d like it but well done 🎉🎉🎉
Hey what diffuser do you have on the back bumper it looks great
Sounds pretty good on acceleration
That actually sounds pretty good. I was expecting it to sound like crap. 👍
Sounds really good and looks really nice, but tbh, it sounds bit like a straight six diesel though
Hey bro, when you got the new exhaust, did you notice smoke coming out of the rear vents
Should have gone catless downpipe muffler delete with turn down tips. That 3 tip is not working
Wow, that sounds let's say challenged... Great job anyways guys!!!
Which Has Better Launch Off Bmw I8 Vs Audi R8 Both are Sweet Exotic Car's
Twin turbo v6 sounds or v8 sounds debate ?
I8 my dream car after GTR35
Nice work! 🤘🏻🔨😎 Sounds like a diesel.
It sounds good
Wow
And its still a hybrid 🤯
What. Color is yours in?
sounds better than a gr yaris
Great Car
Holy fuck, this sounds good 🤤🤤🤤
This has absolutely no reason to sound that good
straight piped a 1.5L 3 cylinder engine ???? why?
imagine a 328i passing your $50-70k bmw
I’m highly confused. So it has an engine? Or did the owner just installed one? I thought they were EV

That revs not under load sound like a boat.
I own one I wish they could have thrown b58 in it
Sounds like a fart machine between shifts, lol 😆
That sound acceptable for 1.5 ❤
Nice
nice prius
Not bad for a hybrid!
The usual guy who does their videos decided to sit this one out. 😭😭😭
Sounds like a Can-Am Maverick X3
I think a turbo diesel would be the way.
It couldnt even break traction in the rain at wot😂
Definitely need a downpipe charge pipe intake and a tune, that soft limiter is lameeee.
They’re such great looking cars, I’m just disappointed the performance doesn’t match 😭

There are a lot of supercars with similar performance, maybe less than 0.2 to 1 second faster 0-60. Some are slower and have FAR bigger engines and worse MPG.
This is what it should be from the factory😹
Bruh why didn't they give this car a v12
Sounds like a Detroit Diesel!😂
Its just a s58 cut in half
Sounds like stool sample
Sounds like a diesel inline 6
Sounds good but it also sounds like a VW TDI😂
Where’s the other guy ? He’s more fun with these videos
It sounds like a Cummins ngl
Sounds like a Fiat😂
I thot the i8 is electric
MENGA MINT!!!
This car is awesome but the butterfly doors ruin it
Sounds like a diesel truck
It's a tractor in supercar clothing.
Oh boy
The man cut his car?!!!
I sure did
