^^ All good points, although controversial when it first came out I prefer the look of the E60 over the F10, every time I see an F10 now I always do a double take from the front "is that a 7 series?"

When it comes to F10, yes the 35i and 35d are close in mileage, but when comparing something like the E70 or newer X5, or most of the SUV's equipped with diesel models (Touareg, Q7, etc) the diesel mpg advantage is really prevalent and the performance is just as good as the gas equivalent, albeit usually torquier whereas the gas version has more hp.
