Coming from a V8 myself - I'll miss the instant response of the naturally aspirated engine (well, not really, as I'm keeping it), but the 35i has more HP. The 302 cu in V8 could also run on anything from moonshine to naphtha[*], while the N55 is far more picky. But it also does better than 14 mpg mixed.
[*] Squirting lighter fluid into the injection is a common enough trick when you have problems starting. Don't try on the BMW, though; you'll probably trip a code.
