The mind-warping drive
Not so eco
To recap
BMW has updated the i8 for 2018 with more equipment and a bigger battery and more powerful motor. It doesn’t diminish from the unique blend the original car possessed, and leaves the staggering looks intact. The on-board tech and interior is starting to feel slightly outdated, but it’s still easy to use and the i8 makes you feel good.
