2017 BMW i8 Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2017 BMW i8 covers three trims of the same two-door coupe — Base, Pure Impulse and Red Edition — each with the 1.5L inline-three plug-in hybrid engine, turbocharged, double overhead cam, on gasoline. What separates the trims is equipment and finish rather than mechanical layout, so the engine, hybrid, driveline and chassis procedures apply to all three, while the body and interior sections mark the points where one car differs from another.

Known issues on the 2017 i8. The manual's weight falls on service and repair, which here means the combustion engine's mechanical procedures, clearances and torque values, the turbocharger and charge-air circuit, cooling and lubrication specifications, the hybrid system's own service and diagnostic steps, and the driveline behind them. Suspension, steering and brake specifications cover the coupe chassis, and the body sections carry climate, lighting and closure work with full wiring diagrams.
