The BMW i8 is no longer a stranger to car enthusiasts in Vietnam. From 2015 to 2018, unlike other sports car options on the market, the BMW i8 attracted attention with its unique design, futuristic orientation, butterfly doors, and hybrid drivetrain.
Imported privately with a selling price of up to 7 billion VND without on-road costs, this model was a choice for many customers with good financial means. With a considerable number of units imported into the country, it is now easier to come across a BMW i8 in the used car market, with prices becoming more accessible.
For example, the 2015 BMW i8 mentioned in this article is currently being offered for sale by a private dealer in Hanoi for 2.9 billion VND. The seller mentioned that the car has traveled around 50,000 km and is open to further negotiation if there is interest from potential buyers.
In the used car market, a 2015 BMW i8 with fewer kilometers, around 30,000 km, would be priced higher at over 3 billion VND.

When considering the total cost, this 2015 BMW i8 has depreciated by up to 5 billion VND after nearly 10 years of use. However, this model can still be seen as an entry-level option for enthusiasts, as the exterior design is still relatively eye-catching compared to current sports car models.
With this budget, if buying brand new, customers have luxury options such as the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 4Matic (2.799 billion VND).

Stepping inside, the steering wheel of this 2015 BMW i8 still looks quite new, with the buttons showing minimal signs of wear. However, the leather on the seats shows some wrinkles, which is unavoidable for a nearly 10-year-old car, even with low mileage (50,000 km).

Unlike the futuristic exterior, the interior design of the 2015 BMW i8 may seem a bit outdated, and even less appealing than some mainstream car models today.

In terms of performance, the 2015 BMW i8 is equipped with a 3-cylinder, twin-turbo engine with a displacement of 1.5L, producing 231 horsepower and 320Nm of torque. The electric motor accompanying it has 131 horsepower and 250Nm, providing a total maximum output of 362 horsepower and a peak torque of 570Nm.
According to the manufacturer's specifications, the BMW i8 2015 can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 4.1 seconds. In pure electric mode, the car can reach a top speed of 120 km/h and travel up to 35 km.

The 2015 BMW i8 promises to be an affordable option for those interested in sports cars. Its driving capabilities and the German brand's reputation remain strong points, although comfort and the unattractive interior design need to be considered.
Furthermore, due to its nearly 10-year lifespan, finding spare parts and components for the 2015 BMW i8 could become a challenge. While this may not be a concern for short-term experiences, it is something to keep in mind for those looking for a long-term commitment with this vehicle.
