Just wondering what everyone's thoughts are; torn between the 50d and the 40i. Looking at pros and cons, I am getting similar pricing for both, so would like to know thoughts.

I am hesitant to get the 50d due to all the noise about diesels but want to know what everyone thinks of either machine.
Hello..i just ordered M50d...but im dont understand how you can get almost same deal for 40i and M50d...i was getting almost same deal for M50d and M50i...only 2000 euros difference...
Fully loaded 50d is working out at the same payments due to the interest rate; think about £20 difference compared to a fully loaded 40i

Best I can get is 23% off each vehicle. The difference between each model and total price without discount is around 2k. So hence my dilemma. Might look at the 50d as previously discussed, might be worth the Venture.
I have had the 40i since Sep 19. It will do 31-32mpg at 75mph on the motorway in eco mode but any town driving nukes that due to the effort the engine uses to get the car moving in start stop traffic. My work journey is mostly motorway with town at each end and I average 27.8 using eco on the motorway and adaptive the rest of the time. I cruise on the motorway at 75mph. I bought the petrol blind without driving it but did drive the diesel. I also was put off by all the bad diesel press. What I can tell you is I do not regret my decision. The petrol is buttery smooth, sounds wonderful and if you stick your foot down really shifts. No fuel consumption isn't great but then again it is a 2 tonne suv with all the aero of a house brick! Yet it still hits 60mph nearly as fast as a golf r....incredible machine.
