I've been given a 28i loaner from BMW a couple of times, and it's like day and night to me. The 28i has some serious lag, and the 8 speed gearbox makes it less than ideal for manual shifting. Not to mention the overly soft suspension, making you wonder if you drive a Buick.
The new short-nosed front-wheel-based X1, I wouldn't even consider. My next one will be an M3.
