The clicking noise is most likely caused by a worn out AC compressor clutch. It is a common issue in BMW i8s and can be easily fixed by replacing the clutch.

Another possible reason for the clicking noise could be a loose or damaged AC belt. Make sure to check the belts and tighten or replace them if necessary.
