It's time now to trade because of issues with the V8. I would like to order a new one with a V8 but that's $13K more for the V8.
I drove a new 2018 X6 35i last week and while the car still has the looks, I missed that torqey snarl produced from even moderate acceleration.
Has anyone here made the (happy) switch from V8 to I6?

There's a number of members on the F15 X5 forum driving a 35i after driving an E70 50i. Most of them say they definitely miss the V8 power and only went with the 35i for better reliability. There's definitely some give and take here.
I don't know if I could move to a 35i now. I think I would always miss the power and sound, and regret it. Just my .02.
