Dubai Police Force Relevance?
At the end of the first section we're told the i8s been purchased by the Dubai police force. Is this really relevant in this current position for even in this article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.44.193.219 (talk) 01:31, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
 * You are absolutely right, as per the Manual of Style the lead should only include a summary of the key facts presented in the article. I removed that content. --Mariordo (talk) 03:36, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

Suggested redirect
As the BMW i8 (along with the i3) is now a car that will get built may I suggest that the redirect for VED get redirected to BMW i8 rather than the other way around. Bjmullan (talk) 19:14, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I fully agree with your proposal, just as the BMW i3 was recently moved from Mega City Vehicle.--Mariordo (talk) 20:23, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Requested move

The result of the move request was: moved to BMW i8. Favonian (talk) 16:03, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

BMW Vision Efficient Dynamics → BMW i8 – The initial concept was called Vision Efficient Dynamics but the car has an official name now. I am unable to do the move as the page already exists as a re-direct but has history. This page should become a re-direct to BMW i8. Bjmullan (talk) 17:37, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Support The concept is no longer relevant, and now the pre-production vehicle was unveiled, notability goes to the BMW i8, so the article should be moved/renamed, just like it was done with the BMW i3. Because the new page is not empty, the move should be done with the assistance of an admin.--Mariordo (talk) 04:22, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Should add usable capacity of 2018+ 11.6KWh model
Battery pack energy capacity increased from 7.1KWh (5.1KWh usable) to 11.6KWh (9.4KWh usable) for 2018+ models. The usable capacity of the 11.6KWh pack should be added to the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.193.254.87 (talk) 06:23, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

Car no longer made = BMW i8 was not is
The article should begin with the car was since it isn't made anymore Warmallis0n (talk) 18:45, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
