I was curious if the extensive braking regeneration had any effect on the stopping distance...

Well if anything you'd think Brake Energy Regeneration would improve stopping distance as it's just the Intelligent Alternator applying itself to the engine (most heavily when braking, lighter when coasting), thus giving greater engine braking effect, therefore greater deceleration ability. Well, that's how all the BMW's have worked up until now anyway - not sure if the i8 works any differently in that respect.
