If the price difference is so minimal, I think I might as well pick the 35i cause of the inline 6 and extra power. I am interested to see the Porsche Macan which is targeted at small SUV as well.
+1 for the 35i, I feel the same exact same way, yet I'm the one waiting for the 42.77 mpg Xdrive 20d. How did I arrive at that you say? Our Aussie friend posted the pdf of the order guide which states combined econ for the x28i at 7.8/100 and the x20d at 5.5/100. Which works out to 30.17 for the x28i and an eye popping 42.77 for x20d and a brisk enough 8.1 to 62. Granted these are both in 6MT form but I'd say if/when they get the 20d here it will easily hang 40 hwy on the board even with added emissions I imagine. If they don't get it here or have a solid date in the next 12 months I'll probably get the 35 and keep the right foot down

I also came across something interesting in the AU order guide that looked as though "servotronic" was an E-assist and was standard on Sdrive models, optional on Xdrives. So maybe the 35 does have electric steering contrary to what's been written?
