The 2019 BMW i8 Coupe Base remains one of the most technologically advanced and visually dramatic vehicles BMW has ever produced. Finished in stunning E-Copper Metallic with Frozen Grey Accent over an E-Copper Exclusive interior, this futuristic plug-in hybrid sports coupe still looks unlike anything else on the road today. Even more impressive, this particular example has covered only 8,296 miles since new and is a 1-owner vehicle.
For 2019, BMW significantly updated the i8 with a larger 11.6-kWh lithium-ion battery pack, replacing the smaller battery found in previous models. The updated hybrid system increased total output to 369 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque, generated by a 1.5-liter Plug-In Hybrid Turbocharged I3 engine working alongside electric motors to create an advanced electrified all-wheel-drive system. Instant electric torque combined with turbocharged power delivery gives the i8 a uniquely responsive driving character that helped redefine what a hybrid performance car could be.
BMW engineered the i8 as far more than just a stylish coupe. Its lightweight carbon-composite construction, low center of gravity, and advanced chassis engineering make it one of the most ambitious production vehicles of its era. The suspension setup features a fully independent suspension, double-wishbone front suspension, and multi-link rear suspension, delivering balanced handling and impressive road composure. Combined with its low-slung profile, sculpted aerodynamic bodywork, and unmistakable butterfly doors, the i8 delivers true exotic-car presence everywhere it goes.
This example is further enhanced by the desirable Tera World Copper Package, perfectly complementing the E-Copper exterior theme and upscale interior presentation. It is also equipped with highly sought-after BMW Laser Headlights, one of the i8’s most recognizable technology features.
Inside, the cabin blends futuristic styling with BMW’s driver-focused layout and premium technology. Equipment includes Real Time Traffic Display, navigation, BMW’s iDrive infotainment system, and a premium Harman/Kardon 12-speaker audio system. This i8 is also equipped with Park Distance Control front and rear parking sensors along with a full Surround View camera system, including right-side, left-side, front, and back-up cameras for enhanced visibility while maneuvering.
The 2019 model year represents the most refined version of the i8 Coupe, benefiting from increased battery capacity, additional power, and updated hybrid performance. With only 8,296 miles, breathtaking E-Copper presentation, advanced plug-in hybrid engineering, and unmistakable butterfly-door styling, this 2019 BMW i8 Coupe Base offers an ownership experience unlike nearly anything else BMW has ever built.
