Coming from a Tesla Model 3…should I get a lightly used i8 as a daily driver? I’ve always been a BMW guy, this will be my 5th if I pull the trigger. I drive A LOT, and put 40k miles on the Tesla in a year and a half, just getting bored of it. Would going to an i8 be worth it? Just want to hear some opinions and feedback

    I’ve driven and owned many BMWs and the i8 is by far my favourite driving and looking BMW ever. It’s also the perfect daily if you can get used to the doors and don’t need to carry much luggage around. It looks like a super car, drives and handles like a very quick hot hatch, has nearly the instant torque factor of electric, and if you charge regularly, it gives you really good fuel economy. I’ve put 25k+ miles on mine in just over 2 years of ownership.

        Low sales figures, mainly because most people shopping for a car that looks like that, want it to be as fast as it looks. I’ve heard a lot of “if only it wasn’t a hybrid”
