Really? I test drove a 50i and three 48i's and opted for the 48i as it was cheaper (within manf warranty plus CPO) instead of going for a new 50i. I didn't see much difference, honestly. Then again, it was just after rush hour in lower NYS so I couldn't get it on the "open" road. Not saying they compare, I know the 50i is faster...but the seat-o-my-pants meter wasn't THAT much more impressed.
Yeah..funny how they did that. It's a 4.4 TT but they call it a 50...implying a 5.0. Especially confusing after the previous gen where it was 3.0, 4.4, 4.6, 4.8 and those all meant something. Even my 2007 4.8 is a 4.8. Damn you, BMW!
Congrats.
