MPE on a 35i is one of the best sounding exhaust I've heard in a while.. I would even go as far as better than some M cars. You can't get this on a diesel.

I owe that one to both you and dubsesd. The boss gave me the green light to buy myself a Christmas present so I'm going for the MPPK and I figured I owe it to myself to get a gift in the spring (dubsesd reco) so I'll go for the MPE...it's never ending.

Good choice sir...I installed it just to hear my wife drive away hahaha. My z4m is much louder and raw but the x5 mpe with mppk is very civil and quiet in the cabin.

Back on topic..let us know what you decide with your purchase

That's correct guys...
Although all the MPE and MPPK seem good add ons, they are however not my cup of tea...since I'm not in the market to make it more sporty...

Yes, correct. All I'm saying that I'm not after .5 seconds of faster acceleration or better engine sound...
Does the MPPK make the vehicle more fuel efficient or less?
Does it make it more environment friendly?
These are the nerdy questions I'm more interested in

But are we saying that the 35i is only good if it has the MPE or MPPK?

I thought you were holding out for the diesel?? If I remember correctly you put on about 8000 km a year. If that's right you'd be filling up that 35i 10 times a year. I think diesel i'm guessing is 8 times a year.

Dealer informed today that they don't see diesel on their Q1 order intake system... Not sure how "indefinite" this stretch is...
They finally admitted the latency is somehow due to the tests...VW scandal

I dunno about that...35i 10 times a year? I am willing to bet a 35i does not get anywhere near 800km per tank, not even if 100% highway. The diesel will get about 900-1000km per tank on mostly highway. the 35i will likely get 500-600km at MOST with mixed hwy/city driving. And probably closer to 500km if its mostly city driving.

diesel in worst case should get 750-800km if mostly city driving.

I won't argue with you but I will say I filled it up the other night and it said I had 722 KM to empty. I can't recall exactly but the other couple of fill ups seem to be in the general vicinity. Maybe I misread it, maybe it was driven in Eco Mode before the fill up and my comment on the Diesel was based on hearsay from Jeep and BMW owners saying that their getting around ~1,000 km per tank but I wouldn't know, I've never had a Diesel only an X5 4.8L that was getting ~550 KM on a tank. That's all that I know and I'm sure I probably have it wrong but that's ok because I'd only be ripping myself off.

I probably should not have made a fuel consumption comment on this thread. Nor should I have stated an opinion on the 35i vs Diesel. Shaw had told me they do 8,000 km a year so I didn't think the Diesel's fuel consumption savings was such a significant factor.

That's it. We should probably take the discussion over to Fuel Consumption thread. Can't recall exactly where that is but I'm sure there would be some good debate happening over there.

Shaw, the decisions all yours big guy. Please disregard my comments on the fuel consumption figures. Regardless of what path you take, you will have the ultimate driving machine. Enjoy.

All point of views and comments are valid...that's why we are here...
So don't sweat it...your point matters as much as anyone else...

So guys here's a new update received from dealership that is a complete turn of events. This is following my request that BMW should offer a discount to have us consider the 35i:
"We spoke to BMW and actually the delay in 2016’s is due to the government wanting all manufacturers to delay new model year diesels so it is neither BMW dealer or BMW Canada at fault over this. They are merely complying with them. Because of this they cannot offer any financial assistance."
Thoughts? Very fishy IMO!

My wife drives this x35d 100% city in Comfort mode and before we switched to the winter tires it was almost every fill the same - 10.9L/100KM and 850KM for the full tank.

Ah, I like this type of pics, so I have to post mine too
