Highly likely to return based on appearances in Forza Horizon 4 and 5; not yet officially announced for FH6 at the time of writing.
About the 2017 BMW i8 in Forza Horizon
Modern sports cars layer real-world competition refinements onto road-legal chassis — bigger brakes, smarter LSDs, faster shift logic. 2017 BMW i8 represents that lineage. Forza Horizon's physics model captures the weight transfer character that distinguishes machines like this from straight-line specials.
2010s saw turbocharging, hybridization, and active aero arrive at every tier. BMW adopted these on the i8 platform with results visible in lap times.
In-Game Classification
2017 BMW i8 sits in the Modern Sports bracket of the Forza Horizon car list. Class A is a competitive tier in Forza Horizon, and i8 can hold its own when the build avoids overshooting into S1.
The AWD drivetrain shapes how i8 responds to power and tire upgrades — every Forza Horizon entry rewards drivers who understand what their drivetrain layout means for weight transfer in corners.

Where BMW Sits in Forza Horizon 6
BMW contributes a substantial slice of the Forza Horizon 6 vehicle catalog. The i8 fits into that broader BMW lineage — every entry on the wiki cross-references its in-game class, drivetrain, and country of origin to help players plan their Festival Playlist garage. For a Germany-built Modern Sports machine in the A class, this is one of the more interesting picks in the full 896-vehicle catalog.
