Another awesome video Joe, keep up the good work! I saw an M2 on the road for the first time today and ohhhh myyy, I couldn't believe how good and mean they look in the flesh, the camera doesn't do them justice at all!

I only just recently managed to take the i8 for a thrash for 30 minutes. I was actually really impressed. The drama, the doors, the sound and steering feel was amazing. Massively overlooked in my opinion. My only gripe is the rear is a little over styled. But I could live with it.

Excellent review Joe. Very interesting car the i8. Stand out looks and tech and I would love to have one for the day but but ultimately for similar money the idea of owning a Porsche 911 or Hurracan excites me more and I am not sure why that is.

Hey Joe, how do you think these things stack up now, they're as cheap as £40k on Autotrader, newer lower miles obviously more. Starting to think they're pretty good thing
