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 in Australia has settled at a median of AUD $78,000, down 6.1 percent over the past twelve months. The "Bottomed Out" status suggests the model has completed its depreciation cycle, with price signals now pointing to stabilization rather than further decline.

Transaction activity remains sparse, with only two confirmed sales tracked in the market and just four sightings over twelve months. This thinness makes price discovery challenging and means buyers and sellers should expect negotiation friction; liquidity is not a strength of the i8 segment in Australia.

The i8's collectibility remains modest at best. With over 20,000 units produced globally during its production run, it ranks as a modern volume hybrid rather than a scarce collectable, and desirability metrics are low. The model's classification as a depreciating modern asset reflects its status as a recent technological statement rather than a classic or investment-grade sports car.

Both the three-year and five-year base projections hold the median flat at AUD $78,000, suggesting that further price movement is not anticipated once current depreciation clears. This assumes no significant change in market appetite for aging plug-in hybrid exotics or shifts in parts availability and service costs.
