I am confused in the middle. I know diesel can save me lot of money, but then i do not want to save a few thousand dollars and not fully like the car.

I have test driven 35d a few times and I have been really impressed with its performance and drive. Things I do not like about diesel:
- Wheel options (without spending 6k extra)
- Exterior is not complete body color
- I like the carbon black, which is not available with 35d. This is not the deal breaker though

4.8 has better handling & look with the M-Sport package.

Please help!
