Yes It's Real: You Can Buy This BMW i8 For The Price Of A Chevy Spark!
Yes It's Real: You Can Buy This BMW i8 For The Price Of A Chevy Spark!-April 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:40

While you’ve all been wasting your money on lame efficiency cars, I’ve been biding my time for the deal of the century on the ultimate ass-hauling EV: This 2014 BMW i8 some sucker is hocking for just $13,000!

A reader sent us from Nashville’s Craigslist, and the seller’s listed an entire handful of parts they deem “good.” If that doesn’t scream “no-brainer” you better stop listening to your wife and watch Road House again. That should sand down your brain cells enough to get on my level for once.

BMW i8s are so hot right now you’d be nuts to pass this up. So hot. Heck, just days ago this one literally immolated itself wherever it landed after what must have been one crazy-hot crash.

Somebody hurry up and call or text Julian if you’re tough enough to take on what could possibly be the worst restoration project of all time and be the biggest BMW-community hero since Bill Caswell.

*Only one minor catch, it will come with a salvage title.

Happy wrenching!

I Ordered A Carbon-Fiber Roof For My Porsche 996 Turbo And I Might Throw Up A Little
I bought maybe the cheapest Porsche 996 Turbo—that’s right, —on the market a year ago, and I’ve mostly been happily stacking miles on the odometer since then. I have been working on making the car my own with a period-correct set of wheels, some extra carbon trim, and a...

Update: I'm Still Burning Money
When I I’d just picked it up from having Subaru BRZ/Toyota 86 front and rear subframes grafted into its crumbling body. When the car came back to me in May, the clock started ticking. I had until mid-September to get the engine and transmission mounted in the car, clean...
