Everyone has their boxes that have to be checked, and honestly BMW made it difficult for us in the U.S. with how the two models spec out and what the packages are.

I'll be driving both engines hopefully this week to compare power, but I already know my wife and I would prefer the 35i (it would be her DD). The real question is, can live with and enjoy the 28i.

The things that I know we have to have at a minimum are:
1) leather
2) wood trim
3) pano roof
4) heated seats
5) metallic paint
6) xenons (without adaptive whatever or ambiance)

That puts us in
xDrive28i with premium/lighting packs plus heated seats at $39,945
xDrive35i with cold weather pack at $41,895

That's not a whole lot of price difference. I think you've spec'd out two very different builds and you should probably figure out what you have to have, and build from there.
