It is super fast and the paint color on it is good.
The performance on the car is amazing, fast and reliable and most importantly it can zoom by really fast. Use it on a daily and to go my other athletic activities. It helps me get the job done and when I need it, it is always there for me. Can be the most amazing feature and I recommend to all.

My car is really good the BMW can be in different types of shapes and sizes.
Sometimes my oil is really bad so I have to always get a oil change each month like 2-3 a month also the engine can be really damaged sometimes and finally that the back seat and front interior is really good like the color of both. If you get this type always get either gray or black because the other colors can look really bad for this type of car.

A fast, nice,luxurious and speedy way to get around.
My car is a amazing aspect to my life it gets me from work to home everyday safe and a speedy way and I love the luxurious aspect of the car. My favorite part is the drop top which is only limited to the BMW i8 roadster. The only downfall of the car is the height of the car, you have to squat to get in it is sometimes annoying but it is all around a good car.

The great i8 is the ideal car to drive on the first day with diamond!
This vehicle is a source of sanguine, comfort, and innocence. I enjoy driving my vehicle through the suburban areas in Baltimore where there are many similar cars of comparable analysis. My car allows me access to vehicle competitions and car shows across the globe.

Great product, I recommend for everyone!
The vehicle is great, what you pay is what you get. In my opinion you get more for what you pay for. This was my dream car and I was not disappointed with what I got. It runs very smoothly and is very controllable. Very nice to drive. I would recommend for anyone.

Good quality and nice speed limit.
I really cannot explain it but my car fast and new. But I want a new one tho bcuz I just want one. But my dream is to have a lot of cars to just give them away. And get money but I want to know some cars buyers but the BMW i8 is literally my favorite car as a kid.

The car that I own at the moment is a very good recommended car.
My car has really running fuel, the motor runs pretty good and the ac in my car is that bad, it gets cold within 2 mins, the lights work pretty good when I turn them on, I don't really have any problems with my car other than it gets pretty hot, my car is pretty and black and shiny.

Overall experience with this car.
It is nice car, rides smoothly. Rarely do I have problems but the maintenance is a lot. I love the interior. The seats are soft. It is comfortable for winter and summer. The music volume and base are good as well. Helps set the mood while driving. Lots of space.

My car is amazing and it makes me want to go on a road trip every day.
I love my car! It works like a dream and gets me from point a to point b elegantly and comfortably. I wasn't a huge fan of electric cars at first but this has changed me for the better. The only problem I have is that since it is a luxury car taking it to the dealer is expensive. I got this car from my parents but I didn't realize the true price of sustaining it.

A 2020 BMW i8. Clean. Sleek. You feel like a NASCAR driver. Beautiful interior.
I love this car with all my heart. It drives so smooth and the interior is beautiful. I do not think you could ever find a better car than this one. I just feel like a NASCAR driver! And it is a plus since I live in California the air on this is awesome and has so many vents.
