Lemme ask you this... do you think a loaded F31, which is probably $10K more than a loaded E84 28i justify the sticker price? IMHO, I don't think F isn't always a better value than E. I've heard people would prefer getting now the E84 before the F84 rolls out.
With the 4 years maintenance free, decent gas mileage, and if you take advantage of the European delivery and/or performance center delivery, for X1's sticker price, i think that is one of BMW's best valued car

Appreciate the feedback.
I have seen 335s now, with the current option incentives going for $50-51K, with sport, premium, NAV, cold and driver assistance packages. I figure I can get a similar equipped 2015 X1 35i for under $45K. So you're talking a $5-6K difference.
A 328 with similar options, the price is almost the same (granter we're now talking N20 v. N55 motors), again given the option incentives that are out there. But I am drawn to the N55 as I've been spoiled with it for the last 7 years.
