The BMW I8 COUPE & ROADSTER (2018-21) 2DR ROADSTER 1.5 PHEV 11.6 KWH 374 SS EU6 AUTO6 is a two-seat plug-in hybrid sports car with a folding roof, rather than a family convertible. In the UK it sits in the premium, low-volume performance market, offering electric-town driving and petrol-powered journeys. Mycarcheck.com has logged 850 look-ups across 254 distinct VINs, offering a snapshot of interest in this model. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £59,400, average recorded mileage of 18,000 miles and around 4,000 miles driven yearly. Owners had about 1.5 previous keepers on average, suggesting relatively few ownership changes. Best suited to couples or enthusiasts wanting a weekend car, it is less convincing as an everyday or family choice because space and open-top practicality are limited. Its styling, quiet electric running and lively performance distinguish it from rivals including the Porsche 718 Boxster, making the i8 a technology-led alternative.
