I love my BMW i8 2017. It is the best car.
BMW is a very good brand. They always help me whenever my car has a problem. The good thing is that the car barely has any problems

Pretty good and awesome car.
There are no problems in it, runs great, performs great, an overall great car that can be driven anywhere. It has a great engine that does not make sound. The car is silent, a good sports car in summary. It is really comfortable, but whenever you sit in it, you have to sit on your back first then pull your legs in, unlike the other kind of cars!

The BMW i8 best looking car they made.
It rides smooth and its fast also I love the doors the seats are comfortable. The design is slick. The only problem is the car is low so it makes it hard to get out of it.

The inside of the car lights up.
I do not think there is any problems with the car. The interior in the car is nice. The seats are very comfortable. The car drives smoothly. The color of the car is really nice. I personally like BMW because of how nice they look both on the outside and inside.

Highs outside-the-box design, comfortable enough for daily use, feels light and quick. Lows the opposite of practical, not as quick as it looks, too much plastic bits in the interior. Verdict the i8 is a flashy and fuel-efficient alternative to legitimately exotic sports cars.

The highlight of my vehicle is the inside.
There are no problems with, y car the car is very fast and has a very nice interior design the outside is also very nice. The car seats are real leather and the headlights can be any color of your choice. You can customize your car and have it however you like for a little to nothing.

The smooth riding I was driving a bumpy ride and it don't feel it.
I really love the car it rides smooth and have the right speed. But problem is if you have kids the back seats is not bog is just a family car is personal car.

2015 BME i8 failure
I had a 2015 BMW i8 , while putting it into the garage the car bolted forward on its own, I had to slam on the brakes to stop it from striking the wall, so lucky no one was standing in the front, not impressed.

Great car. Never had any problems it is very fast and easy to drive. It is a very nice a design and has a nice interior. Never had any complaints about this car other then you need to repair it a couple times. Better than any other car I had and love it a lot.
