F15 35i vs 50i

Hello. I ve got an e70 30d, i want to buy an f15, but i dont know which model, i want my car to sound like a beast and to pull as well. In terms of reliability, what should i choose ? I saw a few videos on youtube, and the 50i is a monster and sounds horrendous, but i dont know which is more reliable. Anybody can help me ?

I have a F15 35i (N55) and a E70 48i (N62). I love them both but I would stick with the turbocharged straight 6 (N55) for reliability, imho. The N55 won't have that low, deep rumble but I have learned to appreciate the raspier sound of the N55. Also, if you buy the N55, you will probably have more in the budget for exhaust mods. I have been toying with the idea of cut outs on mine. I already have a software tune on mine and it made a subtle increase in the tone / sound.

Good luck on the purchase.
