BMW i8 - New Car Day, But There's Issues!

I finally bought my dream BMW i8… but within days, problems started to appear. This is the reality of new car day when things don’t quite go to plan. In this video, I take delivery of my BMW i8 — a car I’ve wanted for years — but things don’t quite go as expected. What should have been a perfect “new car day” quickly turns into fault codes, unexpected issues, and a deeper look at what ownership is really like. The BMW i8 is an incredible piece of engineering — a plug-in hybrid sports car combining electric drive with a turbocharged engine — but like any used performance car, it’s not always perfect.  This is the start of the journey — the highs, the surprises, and the reality behind buying your dream car. ⸻ If you’re thinking about buying an i8 or any used performance car, this might be worth watching. ⸻ CALL TO ACTION: If you’ve had a similar experience buying a used car, drop a comment below — I’d love to hear your story. #bmwi8 #usedcars #carproblems #bmw #dreamcar If I've helped you, or just want to say thanks, then please buy me a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/backroad...
