Hi mate .... I'm glad I wasn't the only one going nuts over the M50d vs 50i versions

For me in the UK fuel economy was still factor. I had the M50d and it returned 28mpg with fairly active driving I had the M50d out on trial last month and basically got addicted to its growl and sledgehammer power!

Fuel economy, less tax, and also the M50d has been through the M division with its M Servotronic steering which is very precise.

The 50i engine undoubtedly sounds and performs better but the economy factors swayed me

What spec have you gone for ?
