After their surprise Premier League win in 2016, Leicester City's chairman awarded all the players with a BMW i8. This gesture showed the level of popularity the fully plugged-in high-end coupe enjoyed. The car featured the German carmaker's latest construction technology wearing a dramatic styling with its hybrid engine delivering excellent fuel economy. You can find used BMW i8's for sale with MOTORS. Read our expert for additional information.
The BMW i8 came into the UK market in 2014 as a high-end version of the BMW i-series. It was among the very few sports cars with a hybrid engine during its launch, making it a definition of future cars. The i8 coupe was the only option available until 2018 when the BMW i8 Roadster, a convertible, came into the market. Regardless of the body style, you get a 357 bhp engine that accelerates from 0-62 mph in 4.4 seconds. However, in 2020, BMW retired the badge, but not before selling a record 20,000 units; you can easily find this slick sports car in the used market.
You don't need to worry about about the specifications in a BMW i8 as there are no trim levels and it only comes with 1 engine option. However, if you opt for 2018 and later versions, you will have to consider the convertible option. The BMW i8 coupe comes with the following features as a standard:
The infotainment features include a DAB radio, Bluetooth connectivity, a 7-speaker stereo, Sat-Nav, a head-up display and a 20GB hard drive. In terms of safety, it comes fitted with:
In 2018, BMW introduced a collision and pedestrian warning system with a city braking function as an optional safety package for city drivers. To make up for the limited options, BMW offered exclusive versions of the i8, such as the Protonic Frozen Black and Protonic Frozen Yellow models. The main difference remains cosmetic.

The BMW i8 is a 4-seater, but the rear seats are too cramped. It has a 154-litre boot space, sitting between the petrol engine and the rears seats. The convertible has even less space, with 88 litres of boot space. However, since the rear seats have no practical use, it is common to use them as extra luggage space.
Despite its little cabin space, the BMW i8 is a deceptively long and wide car, and you need to carefully consider your garage size before heading to the dealership for this car. Special consideration should be on its gullwing doors that require plenty of room when opening. Nonetheless, if the BMW i3 can fit into your garage, then the 360-degree camera and parking sensors offer enough help.
The single-option engine comes with 2 power units, with the main one being a 1.5-litre 3-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine that delivers 228 HP. You will also find this engine on the BMW 1-series. The second power unit is a 129 HP electric unit powered by a 7.11kWh battery that you can charge using the petrol unit or a wall unit. The engine comes with an automatic transmission, but there are paddles on the steering wheels for those who need manual shifting experience.
The 7.1kWh battery takes about 2.5 hours to charge when plugged in an ordinary wall socket. For faster and more efficient charging, go for the BMW i Wallbox as it will take about 45 minutes. Additionally, like the BMW i3, the BMW i8 hybrid system uses some braking power to charge the battery, minimising charging expenses significantly.
The engine's combined economy is about 134 mpg on paper, even though you will get about 100 mpg in actual driving. You might want to consider insurance costs as the price tag and the sub-5 second acceleration automatically puts the BMW in the group 50 category.
is yet to test the BMW i8, but the car is full of driver assistance systems and 6 airbags. The critical driver aid kit is collision avoidance and mitigation technology.
Very few models rival the BMW i8, with becoming the closest, given its electric powertrain and nearly equal price. The comes at the same asking price and delivers the same performance, but it misses the crucial hybrid aspect to become a fair competition.
