I have a similar quandry. I've owned a 35i X6 which was a lot of fun, a 50i X6 which was just smooth power, and an X5M which I actually found the least enjoyable of the three (here in WA I could never enjoy the engine, and found it too "lurchy" in most conditions).

When the X5M was repurchased I decided to be more "practical" with a RR Evoque. The Evoque is only a 2.0T but is remarkably fun to drive. However, it's small, plasticky, and niggly issues have be coming back "home".

I've just ordered a loaded 35i (76K) and keep going back and forth on getting another V8. However, the bulk of my driving is in stop/go traffic, or on roads littered with cops - so even though there isn't much payment difference I'm sticking with the 35i for the better gas mileage and lower ownership costs.

Then again, maybe that's the wrong decision?....

Honestly the 35i sounds great, has plenty power, and is more than fun to drive.
Then again, the 50i sounds just incredible. When I first heard the CA start the demonstrator on that bad boy I knew I was sold.....
