The 35 also is a 52.1/47.9 weight distribution vs the 50.6/49.4 of the 28. A local SA said there is a noticeable difference but I would think occupants would affect the distribution more, am I wrong? 3 series xdrive28i is 51.3/48.7 for reference, and the xdrive35i is 52.2/47.8.

That's a good question. I doubt if I could recognize a 1.5% difference (~ 40 lbs) in weight distribution without being confounded by steering rack, tire/size, and suspension component differences. If someone's butt dyno is that highly tuned, then my hat is off to them.
I know I CAN feel the 1 second difference in 0-60, and the 60-80 difference!
