I modified my BMW i8 to show the engine as part of my Engine Display Project started 7 months ago

In this video, I show the steps I took in order to change my BMW i8 from a stock setup to one where you can see the engine displayed. This project took about 7 months from idea, to design and implementation. From carbon fiber skinning, to installing laminated glass, to performing upholstery, I accomplished many firsts. I made a lot of mistakes long the way and had to change my strategy for this project. In the end, the BMW i8 now has an engine you can see without having to disassemble components in the trunk. You can hear the engine a little more, as well. I hope you enjoy this video.

Not my cup of tea, but beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. By contrast, in my 1981 M1, the glorious 3.5L six was in plain sight and you could see it over your shoulder while driving...at night, the headers were glowing red! The M1 had poor ergonomics (essentially lifted from the 1978 320i) where my elbow would hit the bulkhead when engaging 1-3-5th gears because of the shift pattern. That aside, the M1 should have guided BMW when creating the i8. Just one man's opinion...

You added weight rather than removing it, but I think you just want to get a good top down picture of a Ferrari Boxer 12 motor, print it as a decal and mold/shape it slightly 3D and then and attach it under the glass from top cover you made (which looked great - Naugahyde is easy to work with). Now it won't look like you have a mini-cooper motor in their. Or go older with 4 double barrel Weber carbs in there with metal trim ring accents.

@PatsGarageOnline
@PatsGarageOnline 4 года назад
Thanks! There are aftermarket door openers out there that some people have told me about, asking if they could install them. I don't know if it's possible because both the door and the body in that area are carbon fiber. You'd have to cut the carbon fiber to make room, and you would have introduced a problem where stress on that part of the carbon would result in a crack developing. So, I would personally avoid trying it.
@negritorican

You seem very proud of yourself when installing it on the car and thats all that matters. Might not be everyone's cup of tea but who cares as long as you love it and more importantly learned a new craft.

@PatsGarageOnline

Thank you for the kind words. I was very worried that I wouldn't be able to make this project a reality. Perfectionism stopped me many times. I think that was the biggest accomplishment in this: Just getting it done and being OK with it. I'll be working on that carbon air box in the coming months, along with covering the flap that covers the trunk area with the excess pleather I have. I want to try to hand sew stitching into it. More stuff to learn.

Thank you! I've had no issues with the mod. It does get hot, but there have been no problems. I would do it again exactly the same way if I was building a new one. I overengineered this to be fully capable and it's impressed me. However, I would make the hole in the leather wrapped cover smaller and send off the engine cover and airbox cover for professional carbon fiber work (and am considering that right now). The glass is 12"x24" so you just have to make your cuts and build your frame to support that.

Thanks!
@PatsGarageOnline
@PatsGarageOnline 4 года назад
Thanks for the kind words. I'm only familiar with water leaking in the boot in the back and getting moisture into the electronics on the right side of the boot, behind the close out panel. That's the active sound module and it causes crackling in the speakers when it's wet. I don't know how water gets in there, however. I'm unfamiliar with any other water intrusion in the i8. Yes, I have the coupe so it has the rear seats, but other than that, it has the same general exterior dimensions.

Many have asked about swapping to a larger engine. Anything is possible with enough money and innovation. You'd need a computer controller that can run the engine and also tell the i8 that it's a functioning 3 cylinder, first. Then you'd have to modify the car to fit the engine, transmission, drive lines, etc. By the time you were done, you could probably afford an Aventador SVJ.

It might be possible if a substantial amount of the body and frame were removed to make room. There is not much room between the existing parts of the drivettrain. Then, getting the engine to work with the existing modules may be an issue. If the computer modules don't like how the engine and battery operated motor are working, it may never drive

Any reason why you didn't hydro dip instead of laying carbon fiber

I wanted real carbon fiber since the chassis of the car was carbon and wanted to stick with the same material. Thanks!

Pat, Have you looked into doing Carbon Fiber on your dash? I think that I have seen the kits go for about $3,500. Have you found a place that sells them at a discount?
@PatsGarageOnline
@PatsGarageOnline 4 года назад
I haven't considered doing this as the carbon fiber that comes from BMW is the dry carbon style. If you can find them used or from another supplier, good luck. I could send pieces out for carbon fiber skinning but then I wonder if I should make it the same as my steering wheel which has the blue silver strands in it. Then I think it's too much bling. Ultimately, I chose to leave it.
