I just traded a 2010 35d and am going back to gas with a 35i. I did love the diesel, torque is nice, but I went from a 2007 X5 with the 6 cyl engine which was not enough power. The idle noise is not bad, but there is some. If you try to drive the diesel sporty, the initial lag at times was irritating. The fact the new 35i gets 1 more mpg hwy than my old diesel made my decision, I know the new d is 4 mpg better on hwy. The up front cost and the higher diesel fuel cost, was 40 cents recently, made the the even better mpg on the F15 a bit of a wash. In the end I just wanted to go a little more sporty, and the 35i is quicker than the d. Really can't go wrong with either. One caveat, I drove the d pretty tame, so if I drive this one harder, the mpg difference will be greater
