Model history:

In 2009, BMW unveiled a concept car called the "BMW Vision Efficient Dynamics" at the IAA in Frankfurt, which was intended to serve as a technology showcase for further BMW developments: The 2+2-seat sports car had gullwing doors, a plug-in hybrid system and all-wheel drive. At the IAA 2011, BMW presented the follow-up study of this vehicle called "BMW i8" and a little later (IAA 2013) the presentation of the production vehicle followed. The i8 was part of the newly established sub-brand "BMW i" and, according to research, was produced in quantities of over 20,500 units until 2020

Exterior color / paint / body:

"Crystal White pearl effect" is the paint of this BMW i8: This white paint color is supplemented, among other things, in the sill area, the BMW kidney and at the rear by the contrasting color "BMW i Blue". In terms of condition, there are apparently no inconsistencies to be found on the exterior, as the i8 is completely original and all add-on parts are in complete condition. The seller mentions that the exterior condition is similar to that of a new car and that an accident can be completely ruled out. For more details, please have a look at the other photos and videos.

Exterior Rims/Brakes/Suspension:

70-90% of the condition the tires still show according to the seller's statements - the tires show up mounted on the original BMW 20 inch alloy rims. In the area of the chassis, no deviations from the original condition can be mentioned and the condition of the brake system is estimated by the current owner of this i8 at 70-90%

Interior:

If you open the gullwing doors of the plug-in hybrid sports car from BMW, you enter the nobly executed interior of the i8, which stands out in terms of design and appearance: Leather seats with blue contrast stitching and gray elements, a white center console, blue seat belts and the steering wheel decorated with a blue line, among other things, ensure that the i8 also has a distinct appearance in the interior of this BMW. With the exception of a minimally stressed driver's seat side bolster, the interior of the vehicle is in a very clean state of preservation. On-board features include: Sunroof, power steering, central locking, power windows, heated seats, cruise control, navigation system and a radio.

Mileage

The display in the driver's cockpit of the BMW i8 presents itself fully digitally: on this can also be found the digitally readable mileage, which reveals a mileage of only 6,040 kilometers. After consultation with the seller, all functions on board are in perfect condition and the low mileage can be proven beyond doubt due to a complete checkbook.

Engine

The plug-in hybrid system of the BMW i8 consists of a 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine (located in the rear) with turbocharger, an electric drive (located in the front) and a lithium polymer battery, which is placed centrally in the vehicle floor. According to the seller, the battery was recently professionally inspected and rated in near mint condition. The combustion engine with an output of 231 hp takes care of driving the rear wheels, while the 131 hp electric motor provides the power for the front wheels. The power is transmitted to the road via an automatic transmission (6 stages for the combustion engine, 2 stages for the electric motor). Last service work took place in 2019.
