Mpg is the same? Not sure about that - the 3.5i is rated 16/23 which is nearly the same as the 3.0si was. With the 0-60 close, I would go with the 3.5i. The round tailpipes are a letdown but I have lived with mine without changing them out despite having the option for many years. The other factor though newer is not always better, I would not want to pay so much for older tech/engineering. Did they have top view in the '10s? So options prob can't be exactly the same either. Do you not want the '12s with the LED coronas?
I'd swap to a 3.5i in a heartbeat but given the option to pay the same price for a '10 4.8, I would pass.
