BMW i8

The BMW i8 has settled at a median of AUD $78,000 in the Australian market, down 6.1% over the past 12 months. This decline appears to have run its course, with the current valuation showing a "bottomed out" signal that suggests further downside risk is limited.

Liquidity remains thin, with only two confirmed sales tracked in our database over the past year—a constraint that reflects modest collector demand for the hybrid sports car. The low transaction volume makes price discovery challenging and means buyers should expect negotiation windows to be wider than for more liquid segments.

The i8 represents a depreciating modern vehicle with production totaling 20,465 units globally, positioning it outside genuine collector territory. Desirability scores as low among enthusiasts, partly because the model's hybrid powertrain and forward-thinking design have aged into a market that now favors either pure electric vehicles or traditional combustion alternatives.

Base projections hold the median flat at AUD $78,000 through both the three- and five-year horizons, suggesting the market has found an equilibrium at current levels. This stability, combined with the "bottomed out" status, indicates that the heavy depreciation cycle of recent years has likely concluded for well-maintained examples.
