What your opinions? I would have to put 3k more down and about 100$ more a month... Would it really be worth the extra cash? Will Dinan come through with a tune for the 35i? Pro's and Con's?
Thanks!!!

Well, I've owned an X6 35i then an X6 50i....And now a 2011 E70 35d
All I can say is that I never regretted moving from the X6 V6 to the V8...The extra kick in the pants and baritone of the 50 over the 35 is pretty noticeable. I should have gotten the V8 was never truer than the day after I got my 35i
If you can afford the extra $$ for the vehicle and petrol then do it...
You know what my favorite of the 3 is? The Diesel believe it or not!
PS -- don't put any $$$ down on your lease!! Keep it in the bank, use it to help fund your payment on-going - but don't turn it over to BMW up-front!!!
