Considering that the xDrive35d is more expensive than the gas-powered one and that the diesel fuel is also more expensive then you need a really huge difference in MPG to offset the additional cost of driving a diesel engine. It may actually take years to recover the additional cost depending on how much mileage you do per year. On the other hand, you'll be greener.
