If it was my money I would take the 35i over the 30d based purely on your stated near to 100% city driving. The 30d engine is a great engine and you would have no long term problems, but I would suggest that you will find the petrol (gas) engine is better suited to city driving (IMO). As for colour - yes the brown is a good looking colour but I'd be wary of resale value with the space grey being a safer colour resale-wise (although if you are keep it for 6-7 years resale may not be an issue).
