Cosmetically is there any difference in the exterior/interior (other than badging) on them? (40i has Msport, both are very similarly well optioned)
Other than the price difference and fuel economy, is there any other reason why you'd go with a 40i over the M50i? Thanks!!

Just went down your path this past week. If the stereo is important to you make sure you ask if the 40i you are looking at has Harmon Kardon. If it is new it likely has only the standard stereo which may be fine to you. I would be sure to ask. I pick my M50i up on Friday.

Congrats on the new cars. I'm almost 2 years into mine now, with 41,000 km on it. Zero oil consumption between oil changes. It's been a great vehicle.
Sticker price on it here in Canada was about 117k. I think the only options I didn't get were the B&W stereo and night vision. I got a little over 7% off msrp, zero down, lease payment is around $1750 with about $200 a month of that being sales tax.
I looked at trading for an X5M the other day. Optioned similarly it came out to about $159k. (Had B&W and carbon fiber so maybe 6k more in options)
The lease payment (with 1% rate reduction) was just shy of $3300 a month, with about $600 of that being for sales tax. Ours is staggered here, under $60 k it's 12%. 60-125k is 15%. 125 k -150 is 20%, over 150k is 25%. (Something like that)It adds up! I love the X5 and X6 M's but can't stomach almost doubling the payment from the M50i. If I were paying cash I'd strongly consider it, but a $1500+ jump from what I'm paying now is too steep for the return.
