I had a '17 40e for 6 months, and am now entering my 3rd month with my '17 35d.
For me...100% 35d! Once the battery depletes on the 40e, and it does NOT last long at all....you drive around in a 4 cyl. Now, this 4cyl. is surprisingly quick, but not amazing on the highway and it sounds like SHIT!! I always felt like I was driving a $75k Corolla!
40e is much softer of a ride, but the 35d feels more like a BMW to me. The 35d, IMO, has that perfect BMW comfortable-frim feel. LOVE the suspension on my 35d. Also, on the 40e....many times when parking the suspension drops itself, and it only re-levels when you open a door or start the car.
On the 40e, you will HAVE to constantly manually switch between Normal, EcoPro and Battery Save. I found I spent so much time trying to keep my battery, charge my battery, look for a Chargepoint, etc...that I never got to enjoy a BMW!!
If you want something very Eco...get an i3. But with my 35d, I am traveling 500+ miles on every tank, and my driving is prob. 50% street, 50% highway. TONS of torque, sounds amazing accelerating and is a blast to drive and it has been flawless!
