I've only driven the xDrive28i, I'll have to go in and drive the xDrive35i but my only requirement for performance was >200hp and both fit the bill fine, which is why I'm stuck. I was almost hoping there would be some good arguments to stay with the xDrive28i so I'd get better gas mileage over the years but the cons of leather really makes me think the xDrive35i is a better fit. I wonder though if you can retro fit sideview dimming mirrors?

I'll have to get to the dealer this weekend and test out the xDrive35i,

What are the differences to compare?
Servo steering
6spd transmission (Does the 6 have the sport mode? I know the 8spd lost that option)
Bigger engine

BTW, the "Build You X1" tool on bmwusa lists the xDrive35i as a "3.0-liter, TwinPower Turbo, inline 6-cylinder engine". Are we sure it's not a turbo?
