BMW has not offered an X1 sDrive28i yet, so that would be a brand new model if they decide to do so now. I would not hold my breath, but I suppose it could come eventually. I agree a RWD X1 28i would be nice; I would favor this model vs. xDrive myself.

Cool. MSport details? Are there different wheels available for MSport, or just the standard 18s? And that's the 8 speed auto, correct?

BTW, I notice the X1 "Tech Specs" section on bmw.com no longer shows the xDrive 25i, and the xDrive 28i now lists the engine as the new 4 cylinder. So the I6 powered X1 is officially in the history books now. And so it begins. The Z4 and 5 will follow suit later this year, the X3 next year, and the brand new 1 and 3 series will also debut soon with no naturally aspirated six in the offing.
