What would I change out the i8

So after driving the car for about 600 miles, I think I have a pretty decent handle on what I think the next i8 must address. I think as is I'd give the car a 9/10. The remaining 10% could be made better by...

Better acceleration: the car is quick, no doubt, but 50-75 more hp would be wonderful.

Better brakes: in my opinion this the weakest performance feature on the car. They honestly just aren't very strong.

Wider tires: I haven't notice any lack of grip with the narrow tires, but for the aesthetics alone the car needs 295 rears and 255 fronts.

Improved E range: 35 miles of e range would transform the usability to the car in E mode.

As of this moment, that's really all I have! Pretty damn good for a car that's a brand new model/huge step forward in design and thought process for BMW.
