Yeah, not for everyone for sure...and the new 35i has a very nice torque curve that closes the gap in city driving vs. the previous 6cyl....i just like torque/power w/o having to rev...the modern BMW gassers are excellent/much better in that regard...i would have considered the new 35i given the motor/8spd/perf/mileage...but with the pre new year deals on the diesel and being partial to them, didnt have much choice.
