A BMW i8 typically costs around one hundred and forty seven thousand dollars when purchased new at its original retail launch price. Because BMW ended production of the plug in hybrid sports car, current buyers purchase them on the pre owned market for anywhere between sixty thousand and ninety thousand dollars depending on mileage and condition. Additional expenses like maintenance, insurance, and specialized battery service will factor into total ownership costs. The striking butterfly doors and futuristic design make it a standout collector car.
