One other factor depending on how you expect to use the car is the cooling system. I took my Z4 35i (2012, sport package, DCT) into the mountains on Sunday for a nice drive and it felt like the car was pulling timing. Indicated oil temps were ~270F and it was 93F outside

I thought about the extra cooling when choosing between 35is and 35i and figured to save the $ and get the 35i since the Z is my daily and not a track car but it is unfortunate how easy it is to overwhelm the stock cooling system.
