BMW M2 vs BMW i8

Today I had the pleasure of testing a BMW i8. Not really a competitor for the M2 but I can't help but compare them.

Three cylinder, 1.5l combustion engine aided by electric engines and lots of aluminum and carbon fiber are the main ingredients for the i8.

It has a 357-hp hybrid powertrain driving all four wheels and quite a hefty price tag of 140000€ in the Netherlands.

The poised chassis and sharp but rather numb steering are good fun. Eco-friendly tires, small wheels and regenerative braking together with the way power is delivered hinder performance. Familiar controls, this one had the iDrive 4, in a luxurious cabin. It has eye-catching styling that turns loads of heads.

Here goes a summary video of the test-drive:



Also, a small but interesting clip (the i8 is a beautiful car, and a fast one too):
