Turbocharged engines, like the one in the i8, can suffer from issues such as turbo lag, turbo failure, or leaks in the turbo system.
Transmission issues
Problems with the automatic transmission can include rough shifting, slipping gears, or transmission fluid leaks.
Electrical problems
The advanced electrical systems in the BMW i8 can be prone to failures, such as problems with the infotainment system, sensors, or wiring issues.
Suspension wear
Given the sporty nature of the BMW i8, suspension components can wear out more quickly, leading to a less comfortable ride and handling issues.
Battery life and charging
Over time, the hybrid battery may lose its ability to hold a charge, reducing the effectiveness of the electric motor and requiring expensive replacements.
