I'm 'slightly' worried about the difference in real world running costs as I expected the 30d to be more efficient than my current RR Sport, but I'm now wondering if the 40i is going to be worse.

You do 10k a year, so assuming avg consumption of 40mpg for 10k @ £1.30 per litre, thats £1,477 in the diesel
For the petrol 23mpg @ £1.26 per litre, its £2,490.
So £1,013 difference per year, £84 per calendar month or £19 per week.
Now obviously your consumption could vary, but I think for a good mix of motorway, A roads and B roads I doubt you would be too far off these figures in either car.
I'm not telling you to get the 40i (even though thats what I would choose if it were me
), but if its what you prefer, I wouldn't let the running costs be the decider when you only do 10k.
