The LCI updates are in my opinion fairly minor and the engines are the same. I have a 35D, delivered end of Nov 13 and believe me, its all about the engine, it is stonking! I guess it depends on how much you want that extra power. Have you had a test drive yet? If you get the chance, try both, I think this would certainly help you decide.

Cheers.

I'm very tempted to just hit the button. The engine is fantastic as although I've not driven the X3 35d, I got myself a 335d xdrive in October. I'd originally looked at a 20D, but with the extra money BMW are offering on the 35D it's a no brainer tbh.

It will be a fairly light spec as it's meant to be the second car, so probably heated seats, sun glass, toe bar and either Xenon's or 19's.

Should be a cracking family car!
