The reason behind the cost of BMW i8 is that it is brought to India as a CBU(Completely built unit) and the import duty on CBU route is nearly 110 percent. That makes it very costly and if it was built in India only, the cost would have been lesser than half of what we pay today.

This is because of high duty of import in India (167 percent).
