28i vs 35i
Hi,
I currently own an e92 N54. I am interested in the new X1, and I tried to build it on the BMW website. With all the same features, the 35i is less than $2000 difference. Does it seem right? Both prices seem a bit much for just a X1. Would next X1 redesign coming out next year? Thanks! 2.0-liter, TwinPower Turbo, inline 4-cylinder engine xDrive, intelligent all-wheel drive See all standard features BASE MSRP $32,350 M Sport Line$3,000 Le Mans Blue Metallic$550 Black 'Nevada' Leather$0 Dark Crosshatch Aluminum Trim$0 Driver Assistance Package$950 Lighting Package$1,200 Chrome-line exterior trim$250 Premium Package$3,950 Technology Package$2,500 Servotronic$250 BMW Apps$250 Destination & Handling:$895 TOTAL MSRP AS BUILT$46,145 3.0-liter, TwinPower Turbo, inline 6-cylinder engine xDrive, intelligent all-wheel drive See all standard features BASE MSRP $38,450 M Sport Line$2,500 Le Mans Blue Metallic$550 Black 'Nevada' Leather$0 Dark Crosshatch Aluminum Trim$0 Lighting Package$450 Ultimate Package$5,000 BMW Apps$250 Destination & Handling:$895 TOTAL MSRP AS BUILT$48,095 |

Next redesign is 2015 or 2016 and based on front wheel drive. What do you mean a bit much, it's the least expensive vehicle BMW makes so I'm not sure what you mean. Compared to a Toyota, Mazda, Honda it's a bit much but you get what you pay for. I paid $44k for a 28 X1 and. Consider it a bargain since its basically an E90 with a new engine and transmission design. Many consider E90 better than or equal to F30 and with the same engine transmission it's a deal in my mind.

You are correct that xdrive 28i and 35i are not much different in price. The 35i includes a lot of options you have to add to the 28i so if you want those options on the 28, the price isn't that much different. Of course, someone can build a 28i without xenons, pano roof, servotronic, etc and it will be way cheaper.

You should select Ultimate Package (which includes Premium Package, Technology Package and Driver Assistance Package). Ultimate Package is $6,650. You saves $750 (if you select the three packages separately, it costs $7400).

Thanks for all the info. I personally think the 28i is over price with all the added packages. I mean you can disagree with me.
If the price difference is so minimal, I think I might as well pick the 35i cause of the inline 6 and extra power. I am interested to see the Porsche Macan which is targeted at small SUV as well. |

You are talking about Porches. It's totally different price range! How much u think the 28i should be then? Even if u go with the f30 u will end up overprice. Everyone buy a new BMW knows its not an affordable car! It's a premium cross over |

I also came across something interesting in the AU order guide that looked as though "servotronic" was an E-assist and was standard on Sdrive models, optional on Xdrives. So maybe the 35 does have electric steering contrary to what's been written?

My research concludes that servotronic (optional on the 28, standard on 35) is E-assist but on X1 xDrive cars it acts like a hybrid- hydraulic with E-assist for added low speed steering boost.

Will do, Im a little scared about the orange as I haven't seen that color in person but heard that others who saw it on the 1m says it rocks! I did take the swatch chip the dealer had outside in bright sunlight and it did look unique and different. We will see soon!

Co-worker has the 1M in Valencia. Its not for the faint of heart or those with sensitive corneas but its definitely unique and aggressive- right at home on the little M for sure.

Question Do you guys think by adding the mud flaps it degrades the look or makes it better?

Cayenne is starting around $49ks. Macan must be lower than that. If Porsche price it right(I am guessing $45-46ks), Macan can go from $50-60ks depending on the package. Now, 28i is already at $46-48ks and 35i is at 48-50ks (of course depending on package too). I am sure I want to wait and see what Porsche is offering cause my e92 is still running strong.

While Porsche is bad with names, even they would not name car/truck after Macon, GA.
Just teasing you on your spelling, I'm not really sure what a macan is, nor why I'd want something named after it. As for the Macan, isn't it just a dressed up Q5? The Q5 seems like a competitor to the X3, so doesn't it stand to reason that the Macan will also compete more directly with the X3 than the X1? Meaning it will be heavier, larger and thirstier than the X1? I will say that the 2013 Q5 finally ditching that lame, old 3.2L for the 3.0L supercharged motor makes it much, much more appealing when I compare it to the X3, but there's a large part of me that still prefers the smaller size of the X1 to either the X3 or Q5, and by association, the Macan. |

I think the X1 35i is an afterthought for BMW, as it's a North America only thing, and likely being used to just dump the remaining ZF 6 speeds. I'd be a little surprised if it gets the new transmission before the E84 gets replaced. However with the F30 3er, F25 X3 and the Audi Q5 with both the 4 and 6 cylinder getting the 8 speed, it is a little surprising that BMW is still using the old transmission on the E84 with the 6, but the new transmission with the 4. |
