Arranging the work for the i8
For engine work on the 2014 BMW i8, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and rents you a car while yours is in. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
Details the shop needs
Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 1.5L 3-cylinder turbo hybrid. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Power comes from the 1.5L 3-cylinder turbo hybrid, driving through a 6-speed automatic.
What to send us
You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work.
A car while yours is in the shop
A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
Small things that help
Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires.
Before the shop starts
Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon.
Still deciding?
Ask, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.
Request engine repair
Tell us when suits you. A person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one; the shop sets its own price and time.
