BMW made the car the way it is for a reason. But would be great if there was a "next gen" with more performance.
For the cost I leased it at, I'm ok with how BMW configured it. Do I wish for more performance sometimes, of course. Many fail to see the value at the msrp price point. If I were asked what performance improvements would I want on a next gen to create more demand at USD $150k, my suggestion would be: 320-370hp ICE (450-500hp total) Front torque vectoring Wider stickier tyres More powerful brakes 0-60mph in 3.0 Able to complete a 25 min track session

BMW got it pretty much spot on though, given the i8's design brief |
