I test drove the current 35d and 48i back to back - thought the 35d engine was more responsive...so thought the 40d would be the way to go. However once I started optioning up the car I realised I was closing the price gap between the 40d and 50i ie adding 20" wheels, self levelling suspension etc.. A friend said I should try the X6 50i to sample the v8. WOW - sounds fantastic and plenty of poke. I must admit the diesel sound at start up is not inspiring. Not a very practical reason for going for the 50i but if we were all into practical cars we'd be on the Golf diesel forum
