The BMW i8 was never intended to be anything other than a coupe but it looks damn good a s a roadster. Henry Catchpole takes the new BMW i8 Roadster out for a spin to let us know if taking the roof off was a good idea.

That's not ironically. It'd be ironic if it looked like a muscle car with a blower out the bonnet. The word you were looking for is "Coincidentally". Irony at Its core is dealing with a contradiction in terms. An electric car looking like a battery is not a contradiction. It is poetic or coincidental.

They should have offered more power or a different engine. The interior is also dated and materials simply don’t match the price. It’s a shame that BMW have failed to see the potential of this car and haven’t updated it properly.

I'm okay with hybrid, but 360ish hp from that? No. Should be 450hp at least. With the design like that, such a shame that the engine's so much underpowered.

Generic Memes yeah I understand what they wanted, which turned out to be utter failure . Not many people think about economy in a sports car, they think about performance and power. Carbon tub car with a fucking 3 cylinder, making less then 400 PS combined , jeeez... Just a shame what this car could have been, I was actually hoping it would be M1 successor... And yes... Sadly M division lost their way, making this 3 cylinder vacuum cleaner sound awesome, but failing with the in line sixes, where they suppose to be experts

very nice road and a beautiful place but it breaks my heart to see that forest burned, sadly a common thing in mediterranean landscapes.

mpasistasyalanci Spain is a lot more business-friendly than Greece. You can basically get a business visa and setup for Spain in a couple of days. I imagine that extends to little projects like a few days of filming. Also language and cost I imagine.

It’s a beautiful car but a 3 cylinder it’s a bit week!! It’s probably the fastest 3 cylinder to 60 4 seconds flat is not bad and the quarter mile on the i8 destroyed the standard M4. It does have a 3 cylinder but it doesn’t mean it sucks because it has one it has a electric motor combined people are complaining about 3 cylinder in a BMW. But the future is coming I won’t be surprised if Mclaren came out with a 3 cylinder hypercar look at the Project one it’s a 1 liter engine and it’s a hypercar. This i8 deserves more respect but BMW needs a M badge on this and set it on fire

Beautiful video. However, what makes the i8 Roadster unique is not horsepower, torque or the sound of the combustion engine. It is the joy of driving in relative silence, when the petrol engine is asleep. If you understand German, I recommend Björn Sasse’s impressions on the i8 Roadster: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UBCRUAJ_ODk.html They perfectly complement Henry’s assessment.

I don't know what to make of reviewer's comment regarding "numb handling" anymore -- short of the Porsche brand or uber-exotic mentioned here, it seems that we've transcended this whole notion of "steering feel" in the vast majority of modern cars. I can see "most" drivers appreciating a hybrid like this enjoying this car even though BMW as a whole don't seem to measure up to the "ultimate driving machine" for the past few years now, sans the price.
@peterwood2633
@peterwood2633 6 лет назад
Hit the nail on the head. I just don't understand the point of the i8. It definitely has its own USP(s) but looks like a supercar and doesn't handle like one nor nowadays accelerate like one. All that money and no theatre, no last hurrah to a large NA engine that you can drive yourself, while we wait for the automotons to come. I think they look nice sure in person but seem to be for the particularly vain driver. Why BMW didn't reimagine the M1 for the 21st century is beyond me
@arisgod2749
@arisgod2749 6 лет назад
Man BMW need to get their heads screwed in straight. they have what I think is the most beautifully styled super car and yet they have giving it an anemic petrol/electric engine combo. Get a trubo 6 from the latest M3/M4, a more powerful electric motor and make dynamic like the M2 and you guys will be giving a lot of super car manufacturing headaches.

Is it just me or does the i8 roadster look a bit chubbier then the Coupe...? I love it though I see a lot of people saying this wasn't worth it and was shitty... do you mean the i8 Roaster or Coupé? I barely see the roadster around on the streets but i do see a lot of i8 coupé's... lots of people love them...

I borrowed the i8 for a week from my friend whilst my 911 Turbo S was in for some electrical issue. I kindly gave him the key back and never looked back at the i8 again. It like marmite you either love it or hate it. Mine was the latter.

Why not ditch the petrol motor, drop in the 4.4 M5 V8, combine with the hybrid motor, and have a junior super car? The i8, for me, is- and always will be- a half-arsed attempt at a halo car. In current power spec, this was always a sporty coupe, but never has been worthy of being the halo car in the BMW range. A massive oxymoron of a car, and a gargantuan disappointment.

As a day to day sports coupe for daily use the i8 is excellent and very under rated. The reality of Ferrari 458’s, 599’s,Porsche 911’s and Maserati’s
@TheKicksAreFree
@TheKicksAreFree 6 лет назад
Sorry, hit the wrong icon mid sentence. The other manufacturers mentioned do make faster and more emotive cars but they are much more compromised for daily use. The i8 is not the last word in handling or feel but it is a very sophisticated piece of engineering and from personal experience is twice as fuel efficient as either of the 911’s I’ve had. The reality of 500 bhp plus sports cars is generally frustration in day to day use. You can’t get near their potential on anything but a track. The i8 is not perfect, but it is quick enough for public roads and after 8 months of ownership I hope to replace my current coupe with the updated model next year.

It seems this car got numbered a couple numbers too high. If this was the i6 nobody would complain? The i8 could incorporate the 2.0 liter 4 cylinder and/or more power from electricity, as they see fit. It seems like a really wonderful modern 911-ish thing (but lacking the feel, sadly...) for people who live in more urban environments. The headline to the video strikes me as very accurate. Great review, good car, well done!

Beautiful once again, I realise it was a tech example but they really needed to put in the straight 6 engine to overcome that lack of exhilaration in terms of handling. Or make it RWD only so all the torque goes through the back and put some thicker tires on the front so the playfulness of RWD hides the lack of speed.
