The included VIN is WBY2Z4C56K7F16484. The odometer displays approximately 15,400 miles. The inspection confirmed the presence of a plug-in hybrid powertrain combining a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine with dual electric motors and an 11.6-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack, producing a combined system output of 369 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque.
Notable factory equipment identified includes 20-inch Jet Black Style 516 wheels, leather upholstery, heated and power-adjustable front seats, carbon fiber interior trim, Comfort Access keyless entry, a Harman/Kardon sound system, and a head-up display. The inspection noted some chips on the front end consistent with typical road use.
Description
The BMW i8 represents the flagship model of BMW’s electrified “i” sub-brand, introduced in 2014 and produced through 2020. Designed by Benoit Jacob, the i8 features exotic proportions and distinctive styling elements including scissor doors, aerodynamic bodywork, and a low-slung profile. This example is built around a carbon-fiber-reinforced passenger cell, a structural approach typically reserved for high-performance sports cars.
The exterior of this Crystal White example features flowing body lines, LED lighting elements front and rear, and 20-inch Jet Black Style 516 wheels. The post-repossession inspection noted some paint chips on the front fascia, consistent with the vehicle’s mileage and typical road exposure. The i8’s design incorporates active aerodynamic elements and a distinctive rear diffuser integrated into the overall aesthetic.
Inside, the Giga Amido interior features leather seating surfaces, carbon fiber trim accents, and a driver-focused cockpit layout. The front seats are both heated and power-adjustable. The cabin includes a head-up display that projects key driving information onto the windshield, Comfort Access keyless entry, and a Harman/Kardon premium audio system. The interior design reflects BMW’s approach to combining performance-oriented ergonomics with advanced technology integration.
The powertrain architecture consists of a 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder gasoline engine mounted at the rear, paired with an electric motor at the front axle and a second electric motor integrated with the rear-mounted engine. This configuration provides all-wheel-drive capability through the combination of electric front-wheel drive and gasoline-powered rear-wheel drive. The rear engine connects to a six-speed automatic transmission, while the front electric motor utilizes a two-speed transmission. The 11.6-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack enables electric-only driving range and supports the hybrid system’s combined output.
Service records indicate recent maintenance including an engine oil and filter change earlier in 2025, an alignment and oil service in December 2024 at 13,068 miles, a brake fluid flush in April 2024 at 9,945 miles, and an oil change with air filter replacement in November 2023 at 8,122 miles. The inspection confirmed the presence of two keys, an owner’s manual, a 120-volt charging cable, and two car covers.

Auctioneer’s Notes
We find the i8 to be one of the most visually distinctive vehicles of its era. The combination of exotic styling, advanced hybrid technology, and carbon fiber construction creates a compelling package that remains striking years after its introduction. The plug-in hybrid powertrain offers both electric driving capability and the character of a turbocharged three-cylinder engine, while the all-wheel-drive configuration provides traction management through its dual-motor setup. This example is presented as a repossessed vehicle with all details based on the post-repossession inspection and available service records.
