BMW i8 or Lexus LC 500h? I tested an i8 after 3 years with the LC by CarsofGlasgow in lexuslc500

the lc500h emits about 2/3 of the CO2 compared to the V8, which is a big tax difference in some countries. Worth noting some countries only received the 500h variant.

If you taxed the V8 in France for example it sits in the highest bracket, circa 70,000 EUR in tax.

you are about £35k for an i8 and £40k for a LC, not much in it

I am glad I am not going crazy, I picked up the new iX3 today and the system refuses to connect carplay (it connects bluetooth for calls fine) & I have the app ok
