BMW i8 price shock
BMW's hybrid supercar has proved so popular that used examples are changing hands for far more than the list price

The i8 has just gone on sale, but there's already a two-year waiting list


By James Foxall

Demand for the BMW i8 hybrid supercar is so high that used models are selling for nearly 50 per cent more than the list price.

Anyone who had the foresight (and finances) to put their name down a couple of years ago would have paid £99,845. But there are now examples on used car websites with between one and 250 miles going for £139,995.

“It’s a sellers’ market,” said Tim Marlow from Magnitude Finance. “Some dealers are now pricing them in the region of £150,000.”


The BMW i8's hybrid drivetrain helps it emit just 49g/km of CO2

The i8 blends the 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine from the Mini with an electric motor for a combined power output of 357bhp.

According to BMW, it will hit 62mph from standing in just 4.4 seconds, yet has a battery-only range of 23 miles, which is enough to cut official CO2 figures to just 49g/km and qualify the i8 for exemption from London’s congestion charge.

It seems to be one of those rare cars that has created a perfect storm of desirability. It looks sensational, dealers have run out of stock and the waiting list for new models is about two years.


Why bro, these dudes in Karachi and Lahore seem to trust the Pakistani traffic and roads.

I wonder what they will do if they need spare parts for these cars? It's not just the roads and speed bumps there are belligerent drivers in Pakistan and some will ram into you on purpose just because their car isn't as good as yours.

Uska bi bandubast hey....all these were discovered in some gangsters farm house near Islamabad.

[Counter-Errorist]

Ask this lady, the marketing manager at Porsche Pakistan, city roads are no issues, it's the side streets and service roads that deploy speed breakers.

We can only stroll on city roads, you can't really get anywhere without venturing into side streets and service roads.

Some history of bmw operations and manufacturing that is then sent across the world.

However, for me this is the king - the 79 model continues to be produced '79 in style but it is a donkey like the hilux for heavy duty bush/farm work. Somehow tens of thousands made for Libya are now all over north africa. 4 weeks ago was in one at friend's farm - ran over a hidden trunk which lodged between the diff. took 2 hrs to hack through that hard wood trunk.

Yet another incentive for the corrupt mother #&*kers to steal my tax money and give it to a country who stabbed us on defence deals multiple times

BMW i8 called the most progressive sports car has now hit the Pakistani roads, even here in UK, Demand for the BMW i8 hybrid supercar is so high that used models are selling for nearly 50 per cent more than the list price.
When launched it listed for around £100k, but the used ones were selling for around £140k.
However in Pakistan, with tax and duties, it's reported to cost around Rs 5 Crore.

And they say that Pakistan is a poor and third world country

Driving on potholed and easily flooded roads in Pakistan. I dont want to even call them roads by the way. Well good luck! Even if you have everything normal, there is so much car snatching and kidnapping that you have to keep several guards around just to make sure you are not kidnapped driving such an expensive car.

But it all comes around. Isnt it? When the money have is ill gotten and that money is used to buy such expensive stuff, this stuff becomes an illness to you rather than comfort. Learn to earn the halal method first. So you can enjoy stuff you rightly deserve be it BMW i8 or a Rolls Royce.
