2011 X35d or 2012 X35i to Replace 2009 X35d

[Klepper]

I have a 2009 X35d that I am very happy with. I am selling this vehicle to a family member who is in need of an SUV (and I am always looking for an excuse for a new vehicle!). My question is, should I replace it with a 2011 X35d, or a 2012 X35i? I should add that the X50i is off the table.

I love my current diesel, but I don't like the idea of buying a new 2011 diesel when I could get a one model year "newer" 2012 gas. I also would like to get the MSport package, which is not available on the diesel. But I am worried I will miss the diesel torque. Thoughts?
