That is correct- we went under the hood to figure it out and then inquired with the engineers.

The 28i sDrive is the only EPS system and remains that way even with "Servotronic" as they are able to add boost with EPS by adjusting the power to the motor.

The 35i comes with hydraulic servotronic which the 28ixDrive has available as an option. The EPS unit was unable to be packaged in the X1 with xDrive.

The best of the bunch is the xDrive in 28i form...
