I don't drive so many miles that the difference in mileage is a big factor financially, but by the time I turned in the 550, I was pretty sick of having to stop for gas every 250 to 320 miles. One of the best parts of the experience of picking up my X5 was firing it up and having the dashboard show range of 480 miles to empty.
In addition to better mileage, the 35i is absolutely fast enough for 99% of my driving, and because of the reduced weight, is better balanced and handles better than the V8. I'd buy another 35i in a heartbeat even if it was the same price as he 50i.

you're right i came from a bmw 328 series sport line, and i was very happy, i just need to feel maybe more power, and i think the x5 35i, will give me this.
