It needs black cf wheels. I would buy one, 500HP or even 400HP would be fine if weight close to 1400K. I do want to be able to spin tires though.

Interesting visual trick on the kidneys, blocking out the middle so it does not have the ludicrous nostrils of the new 4 series.

Must keep the minimal rear seat functionality.

The i8 has gained a reputation, is arguably one of the best 'flagship' models in recent history. I am really surprised how every kid seems to know what it is. They roll down their windows at stoplights and wave and politely but excitedly ask, "excuse me sir, is that a BMW i8?"

And the i8 gets a ton of attention at exotic car gatherings, way more than the hum-drum Ferraris, Lambos, Porsches, Vettes... It is the 'thinking person's' cool car. Great PR for BMW.
