I really expected more from this vehicle and given all of its negatives the price BMW is asking is laughable.

Side note: loaner has ~3K miles on it and shows an average of 20mpg with the 2.8i. Not great considering the M averages 17.5.
I am completely shocked you don't like a non m-package, stripper 4 cylinder loaner car. Not.

The x35i m-sport has the sport seats from the 335/135, no start/stop, better suspension, the identical hydraulic steering rack from the 135/335, and a 155mph speed limiter with 285 section 19in summer tires.
