BMW i8 First Hand Review (Link and Gallery)

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We thought it would be great to <a href="http://bmwi.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=874394">repost</a> these excerpts from Autoblog's BMW i8 hands on review <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/08/07/2015-bmw-i8-prototype-first-drive-review/" target="_blank">Read it here.</a> "We tried all modes, of course, and while BMW still has six months to  refine the few remaining issues on these validation test prototypes, the  more we drove the i8, the more the huge financial investment required  hit us as a brave yet valid move by BMW. Whether in its most timid  coffee-fetching eMode+Eco Pro setup or in Sport with DSC off, you'll be  happy with what you're feeling if our happiness is anything to go by. A  full recharge from the (not included) wall box given the smaller  capacities of the lithium-ion battery, takes just two hours." <b>(Continue Reading Plus a full gallery after the jump)</b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqUdLrXDGlplkqRa2Hu3fTG5i3Q-UIKnaHOXN9yIzmTe6L9g0SKoOz-E_bgtTkZ-fos9luto5a3VV1p7joa7KUi5WNDANRoh2jSm8wx_V8i87TM-om2qY4zENaCIiIyiB3LT9_-ypexd4h/s1600/28-2014-bmw-i8-p-fd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqUdLrXDGlplkqRa2Hu3fTG5i3Q-UIKnaHOXN9yIzmTe6L9g0SKoOz-E_bgtTkZ-fos9luto5a3VV1p7joa7KUi5WNDANRoh2jSm8wx_V8i87TM-om2qY4zENaCIiIyiB3LT9_-ypexd4h/s640/28-2014-bmw-i8-p-fd.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><a name="more"></a><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdLiGHlTTCjf5-o3r26CSmiD-M4QLkE-qmpfNuE3peZl-N7WdPd14gzVNUnVpximoA8mPiN1FcM0O8VZDj7kPDd3YdcVlbf3IjrR1Ox5bVFvawPgvouViqmEOu9ufsc_3RngySta9Vls2n/s1600/29-2014-bmw-i8-p-fd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdLiGHlTTCjf5-o3r26CSmiD-M4QLkE-qmpfNuE3peZl-N7WdPd14gzVNUnVpximoA8mPiN1FcM0O8VZDj7kPDd3YdcVlbf3IjrR1Ox5bVFvawPgvouViqmEOu9ufsc_3RngySta9Vls2n/s640/29-2014-bmw-i8-p-fd.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEpKqoKvyGEVLzhGWPc0q5AwuwJa89aAaRkCghd5y5gSPuOYtVeFWMLwVDlfbiNWje37rO59NsQG9ADgFyeOTiQExmSK6HCLhSETzXe7d0LoI_I6TCgyDEXKhLbVHfQOMV4BleT6UMRp0F/s1600/30-2014-bmw-i8-p-fd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEpKqoKvyGEVLzhGWPc0q5AwuwJa89aAaRkCghd5y5gSPuOYtVeFWMLwVDlfbiNWje37rO59NsQG9ADgFyeOTiQExmSK6HCLhSETzXe7d0LoI_I6TCgyDEXKhLbVHfQOMV4BleT6UMRp0F/s640/30-2014-bmw-i8-p-fd.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr7JUTNAkRWVs1623PByaODHrQFVRvcJvGOomgzCbjXZUhQmnfVWXy-n70MEbwUf3IPyyIy71l02zw1R4mPjibcm2RaI4Bn8QUzy9BLBvCIZbSVV-odjt-dGcsLjQY67ESfHCj5QhyoNcz/s1600/31-2014-bmw-i8-p-fd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr7JUTNAkRWVs1623PByaODHrQFVRvcJvGOomgzCbjXZUhQmnfVWXy-n70MEbwUf3IPyyIy71l02zw1R4mPjibcm2RaI4Bn8QUzy9BLBvCIZbSVV-odjt-dGcsLjQY67ESfHCj5QhyoNcz/s640/31-2014-bmw-i8-p-fd.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7csw0YN89wuTf2UqD5m8zWjppgZseROG5VvOSDTTyCeSHiZiCrTp3puUf8WZN9_AqxiXzwt6F7k39Q3yaUJyP1o1xL2xcKp2WWUqG_PUbuzndJuTBS6Ao5ohWs7zsfSnBC5jd7GypbI02/s1600/37-2014-bmw-i8-p-fd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7csw0YN89wuTf2UqD5m8zWjppgZseROG5VvOSDTTyCeSHiZiCrTp3puUf8WZN9_AqxiXzwt6F7k39Q3yaUJyP1o1xL2xcKp2WWUqG_PUbuzndJuTBS6Ao5ohWs7zsfSnBC5jd7GypbI02/s640/37-2014-bmw-i8-p-fd.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">"Electric range can vary widely based on how the i8 is driven, of course,  and the topmost speed allowed for the e-motor/front-wheel-drive mode is  75 mph. With everything up and running, though, top speed is let out to  155 mph, and acceleration to 60 mph can happen in under 4.5 seconds.  That's pretty great for a "boring old" hybrid, we'd say. And the feeling  while doing all of this in the sport seat is almost-M-sensation  terrific. The steering is ultra-electrified, yet at the same time, very  precise. When switching to Sport, the dampers automatically switch to a  more rigid setting, yet we enjoyed the ride over both smooth surfaces  and imperfect pavement. Braking – quite the regenerative affair, of  course – is immediate and sure, aided by the standard, very light and  aero-friendly forged 20-inch wheels."</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMG7-z2HM8A60rL03lkACyvLuiXxLRke8RpKAdyfgl1MVaQ5RXSHS4mKR55cAuPhFyK81ArjhhPxHW25JhJAn4yPuP0B3D3Khc5Ifewxo6SfhdD63OHjf1itji1Xg3v6FZOj_PF_qdLyVv/s1600/36-2014-bmw-i8-p-fd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMG7-z2HM8A60rL03lkACyvLuiXxLRke8RpKAdyfgl1MVaQ5RXSHS4mKR55cAuPhFyK81ArjhhPxHW25JhJAn4yPuP0B3D3Khc5Ifewxo6SfhdD63OHjf1itji1Xg3v6FZOj_PF_qdLyVv/s640/36-2014-bmw-i8-p-fd.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAuABfiFzZpnYqeF4iZN5RogBlC7WbltDdgTSUNrSPPGDqhzDTSgFskv3p2SpSUWJHOX-XYdnXd_0RLWv_08pirGq4KvpOqBWHQBhMdwr_VHAj_963nvsdG2CWO5VPhvNMcJErLSm6SbpE/s1600/33-2014-bmw-i8-p-fd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAuABfiFzZpnYqeF4iZN5RogBlC7WbltDdgTSUNrSPPGDqhzDTSgFskv3p2SpSUWJHOX-XYdnXd_0RLWv_08pirGq4KvpOqBWHQBhMdwr_VHAj_963nvsdG2CWO5VPhvNMcJErLSm6SbpE/s640/33-2014-bmw-i8-p-fd.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">"We had just a few pieces of constructive criticism for BMW's assembled  team in hopes that they'll improve the car even moreso. Firstly, the  iDrive display is currently almost useless in any sort of sun due to its  forward placement and cobalt blue typeface. Second, programming for the  six-speed automatic attached to the 1.5-liter is fine in all aspects  except at the extremes of its envelope, and it needs a 7,000-rpm redline  to better suit the gearing and the exhaust's character. And finally, we  wanted better summer tires – ours were the optional 215-width front and  245-rear Bridgestone Potenzas. Dynamics were really hot overall from  this relatively lightweight, stiff, and extremely low-center-of-gravity  BMW i, but it needed just a tick more help at the corners from the  rubber."</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3wy7rOdoo1uwQDZYm5RzIDgtlqOdvYRk3aB13iUz9wKqiGpo0GDEf5acrkBpjzM6JnEMZTMADyiZB000dPgXo7AdtLOjuIK7vWJca3AyyMZVVHmDx3IRAGOrDom_Scbzw1dWDG8EyVgKG/s1600/32-2014-bmw-i8-p-fd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3wy7rOdoo1uwQDZYm5RzIDgtlqOdvYRk3aB13iUz9wKqiGpo0GDEf5acrkBpjzM6JnEMZTMADyiZB000dPgXo7AdtLOjuIK7vWJca3AyyMZVVHmDx3IRAGOrDom_Scbzw1dWDG8EyVgKG/s640/32-2014-bmw-i8-p-fd.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivibNLggHTzKVjuRHGssEMdgm-JT4GXAHevo0B5vX7HmEP4zXkzrQSlTOIumxqxsEuY6GF1Qx2AMGhKdHMEqo792yxIdiYZjfaNhZCEqOnbijAbYOvsA1HpGKzv9_EfFRkYWZfeaNvh0tP/s1600/38-2014-bmw-i8-p-fd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivibNLggHTzKVjuRHGssEMdgm-JT4GXAHevo0B5vX7HmEP4zXkzrQSlTOIumxqxsEuY6GF1Qx2AMGhKdHMEqo792yxIdiYZjfaNhZCEqOnbijAbYOvsA1HpGKzv9_EfFRkYWZfeaNvh0tP/s640/38-2014-bmw-i8-p-fd.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /></div>

The BMW i8 Production Interior Spyshot

BMW i8 Production Renders May 2013

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Based on the latest spyshots showing the  new 2015 BMW i8 wearing it's production wheels and minimal camouflage  on, it is very easy to see tiny details in the bodywork that we have  never seen before. The i8's 1.5L three cylinder turbocharged gas engine  in the rear and the 128hp electric motor is expected to generate about  354hp / 500Nm torque, 0-62 mph in  approximately 4.6 seconds, top speed of 155mph, 78 MPG (european test  cycle), up to 47 MPG average fuel consumption, with emissions generated  to just 66g/km. Here are a few of our in-house renders of how the BMW i8  will look like in production form. Let us know what you think? </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Sep 10 2013: It turns out these renders were pretty accurate compared to the actual car. <a href="http://tcbmw.blogspot.ca/2013/09/the-official-bmw-i8-released-gallery.html" target="_blank">The Production BMW i8 has been officially released, see the full gallery here.</a></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
