first, i would recommend readings as many reviews as possible of both on caranddriver, motortrend, etc. i would say that a fully loaded 328i is preferable to a fully loaded x1 28i (335i > x1 35i).

however, the 3 series usually costs around 5-10k more for comparable equipment. Plus, im not a fan over the softening of the 3 series in its current generation. The reasons why I chose the x1 over the 3 series is 1. price (i got a 35i loaded for around the same price (if not cheaper) than a loaded 328i), 2. you see a 3 series on almost every corner and 3. I'm more of a fan of the last gen 3 series architecture b/c its more of the "ultimate driving machine" than the current one.

either way, however, you can't lose. it really depends on what type of vehicle you prefer and where your priorities are. if youre shopping the 3 series i would also consider an A4 sport package b/c you usually can get better deals on them since theyre near the end of their product cycle.
