I suspect the options will be the same...

[NausetLight]

was just curious to see if the premium package might be a cheaper seeing that the 35i comes standard with the panoramic sunroof.

Haha

It's like everyone expected a N20 RWD X1 + Xenons / Cloth Seats / 6 SPD for base price.

Unfortunately people who want a car equipped like that are like..<5% of the buyers.

It looks like you can still get heated seats though for $500. They do that now on some of the 28i cars. I don't think the sport steering wheel ever gets heat, but I could be wrong.

And +1 on the xenon option without ZPP. That is beyond lame. Also, lately they are doing away with the economical sport package. Which blows since I usually buy it for the seats and lowered ride height.

Interesting wonder what "Dark Copper" trim is any picks?

Hard to decide between the expensive/sporty M pack with 19"

or the off roady/outdoorsy X pack + 19"

WTF is a "moonroof"? can they not call it a sunroof?

Performance control is variable speeds across the four driving wheels to tighten steering - bit like a tank. XDrive only I believe.

I have it on my X1, however having not driven one without it have no idea how much it makes a difference - I am impressed by the steering though, good fun.

Interesting how the US seems forced to get options we don't have to take here in the UK. For instance, xenons can be had without all the sat nav etc, however we legally have to have head light washers if xenons are fitted - so they come with.

I have heated steering wheel, it's awesome, however was available on its own, along with manually adjusted heated seats etc. None of those 'packs' were offered.

I think your prices are lower than ours though, however I haven't done the FX, so could be wrong.

Your gas prices are definitely miles cheaper than ours though and you get four years servicing included, so looks like US running costs will be quite a bit lower.

I think a sunroof is just a non-opening glass panel. It might tilt at most. Moon roof means it opens.

DO you have the "servotronic" steering? is that what makes it good fun?

Yup, sounds like the perfect utilitarian commuter car. Good to throw in all the sh*t from Home Depot trips. Don't need all the bells and whistles. Save that for the fun car.

Don't the 5, 7, X3, X5, X6, Z4 all allow MSport with ZCW (including heated wheel) today?

If so, I suspect the new 3 series will as well once MSport arrives. This would mean the X1 will be the only BMW that offers a heated steering wheel option, but does not allow ZCP with MSport.

Absolutely. It's a great price for an SUV that is also fun to drive. People spend 30k easily on loaded-up non-luxury SUVs in this class already, and they are painful to drive because the are not BMWs. I say, take the BMW without the options and actually have some fun.

I would probably add in Metallic paint for $500 (don't like black or white cars), and maybe Servotronic too.

I'm one of those people; also I'm part of the base 328i wagon with 6-speed that cannot be found by any dealer group.

But lowered, (quick Photoshop).. looks pretty decent:

Ah i see - in my market a sunroof covers both of those - if it doesn't open it seems to be referred to as a panoramic glass roof. I have the sunroof in mine and it both tilts and opens

Servotronic is standard on UK models - still took awhile to get used to the heavier steering compared to my previous car even with this fitted.

I don't think Servotronic or performance control on their own make it fun to drive - its a combination of all of them plus the inherent characteristics. I just really enjoy driving it - performs better than I think it should, especially as 4WD etc.

The X1 handles very much like a saloon and as such is quiite different to the much higher X3 or X5.

I'd not get the sDrive though - don't see the point personally.

[Lucky13]

I have a tire question. If you order the 18" wheels or the ZXD pkg are the tires all season or performance with the rear wheels different from the front. My wife got pissed last time when I got the 19'' wheels on the 2007 X3 that rode like crap. I assume just ordering the 18" wheels gives you all seasons with the same size but the ZXD maybe gives you performance tires with different sizes which the M sport would do for sure. It's going to be her car so I'm trying to avoid the piss off factor as much as possible.

Why? RWD is practically synonymous with BMW. Plenty of SUVs out there are available without AWD, but the vast majority are FWD in that configuration which makes the AWD option more attractive comparitively.

With a BMW, you actually want to have the non-AWD option. I was shocked to see they added the sDrive option for the 28i in the US (previously was only offered in lower end models for ROW) but am happy they did, even if it was quite likely only so they could offer a lower priced entry model here.

[Lucky13]

I'm going Sdrive for sure like mkoesel says. The only thing that really pisses me off is to get park distance control you have to get ZTP which is $2500 and then the damn $950. This forces me to get the Ultimate and I really do not want or need navigation. PDC is an option in every other BMW. So anyone have an answer on if all 18" wheels are performance tires?

Beg pardon, but many folks would go for cloth on low-end models over vinyl. Nobody else offers vinyl in the US market that I can think of. In other markets, BMW offers cloth standard with leather as an option. Also, AWD isn't necessary in markets like the Southeast or Southwest. Xenons have been stand-alone options on other BMW models for years. Judging by the comments others have made about this, I would think that it's greater than 5% who would like the option.

[bbg2d]

Cloth seats would be nice... I kinda miss the seats in my MKV GTI.

Mercedes does

Or some shit like that
But it's vinyl

By the time I add up all my options, I might as well just order an X3. Xenons are a $900 stand alone option for the X3 28i.

Problem with xenon being part of an expensive package
Is that you see a lot of BMWs with the cheap looking halogens
My wife has the new X3 35i, and I notice that almost on all the 28is I see
They never fork over the money for xenon
Which means it's even less likely they pay for it when it's part of a package
I'd never buy a car without xenon
It makes a huge difference when driving at night
When I had my fiat 500, that was the first thing I did

Isn't that how it should be?? We're not the EU, they have different standards.
