I am hesitant to get the 50d due to all the noise about diesels but want to know what everyone thinks of either machine.

M50d owner here. I picked mine up 3 weeks ago. I absolutely love it. It's the low end torque that makes it feel so powerful. Due to its size it never feels fast so probably don't be getting into a deal if it's a super engaging drive you're after. However, it does sound good in sport. Mostly fake but has the M Sport Exhaust so does sound ok from the outside too.
I'll not say mines "fully loaded" as that gets you into trouble. The options I went for are:
Heated front pack (heated arm rests)
Tech pack (HK, HUD, park assist etc.)
Visibility pack (frickin' laser beams)
Sky lounge (sun roof)
Crafted clarity (clear plastic knobs...)
Privacy glass (still can't believe that's not standard)
Full carbon M Perf Kit.
Drive assistance pack (auto steer, radar cruise)
I do about 100 miles a day. Mix of motorway and A road. Gets good efficiency if you have manners.
Happy to go into detail on the car as a whole or options if you like.
