I would love to see The 2.0l diesel from the 20/28d series. Tuned to 300 or 350 horse. You would get loads of torque to spin them when you want to 400+lbs easily. 50 mpg+ With the new 8 speed my x3 gets that @45-55mph. At least 50 miles elctric only range this time. Also DC fast charging. You can get a modern 25-30kwh battery to easily fit in the area the 2010 Era designed battery the current i8 has. That would support more oomph for a better front electric motor. Easily a 250 horse. With peak electric boost at 300 horse a sort of "overboost" for launches and track straights. Would be a real contender and keep the weight down too 3k lbs. Would be much quicker than the old one too.
