Congrats! I went through a similar struggle trying to decide between the two as this would primarily be used by my wife as a family/kids hauler/grocery getter. I was set on getting a 35i and went back and forth between my two builds, but in the end the test drive of the 50i won me over. The 50i felt like a completely different vehicle compared to the 35i and I felt the V8 offered more performance per dollar than the I6 version. Plus getting an SUV with the same engine as my E92 335i didn't seem logical to me, although the whole idea of getting a high performance SUV as a family hauler is illogical.

I'm sure you'll enjoy your car very much. I loved my E70 and like the F15 even more. Can't wait for mine to arrive and the black kidney grilles will be my first mod.
