Premiums compare the median price of sales with each option against comparable sales without it, mined from verified auction listings. Sales are pooled across markets on a relative-price basis, so exchange rates and market levels can't skew the split. Options interact in ways a one-at-a-time split can’t capture — treat each premium as directional rather than gospel.

Marque analyst note

The BMW i8 is holding at a median of $110,000 in the US market, though valuations have declined 11.4 percent over the past year. Only three transactions were tracked in the last 12 months, signaling a thin and unreliable market with limited price discovery.

The i8's modest collectibility score reflects its position as a depreciating modern exotic with limited appeal among serious collectors. Production ran to 20,465 units globally, a relatively high volume for a six-figure sports car, which dampens scarcity value and long-term desirability.

Transacted examples carry an average mileage of 27,300 miles, consistent with typical modern sports car usage patterns. The absence of current dealer listings underscores the tight liquidity picture for both buyers seeking examples and sellers looking to move inventory.

Base projections suggest the i8 will stabilize near current price levels through 2029, with neither growth nor material decline expected absent significant shifts in the electric sports car market or collectible modern vehicle sentiment. The car's depreciation arc appears to be flattening after an initial slide from launch values, but enthusiasm remains subdued.
