@ JCL...
You said "Based strictly on the two builds you list, I would get the 50i because it doesn't have the third row, and doesn't have the Tech package."
^ Huh? I thought the tech package is where its at. No? Please fill me in.

@blondboinsd

You said " Coming from someone who currently drives the V8 model I would chose the 35d ANY DAY. Not only is it far more equipped I would assume it also has a higher resale value in the future "

^ Now i'm really confused. Because you said you drive the V8 you would choose a 35D all day long. Isnt the 35D a smaller motor then a 50D? Please explain that. You no longer enjoy whip lash acceleration?

Thanks for the help, and now to contribute....

From what I know (and I guess thats not too much) I would want the 50i with all of the options that the 50D has..... if thats possible.


Whip lash acceleration? Ok It's not THAT fast. I chose my 4.8i because I thought the 3.0si was underpowered for how heavy the car is. The 35d feels just as fast as the 4.8i due to it's torque
