NiceRide is on a distinguished road
At $3k more down +100/month I say go for the 50i. It lags the 35i by only 3mpg and the 8-spd with the 4.4 turbo is butter in city driving.

I'll go as far to say I enjoy the 8-spd / 4.4L combo over the 6-spd / 4.4L combo in the X5M for regular non-spirited driving, feels more "effortless" in the 8-spd. I own both.

Unfortunately, no feedback for 35i as I've never driven one.
