On the other hand I can understand a 35d owner calmly commuting back and forth to the work and saving his $60 per month on lets say a extra cell line for his/her kid or extra launch for two once a month. I get that. It's just for me - we live only once to not enjoy that V8 while we still can (not too long before we all cave in for a boring slow electric appliance hybrids)
If M50d was an option in US - I might have bought it instead, but unfortunately it isn't

I wish here in Europe we had similar low fuel costs - you can double that figure per month. Thats why there are very little 50i around and the majority of X5s here are diesels. I would love a X5M but the miles I do can't justify the extra cost hence why I've gone second best X50d
