A clear comparison, thank you. Puts the choice clear: M35i is $5K-$15K more than the comparably optioned 28i for a “wow” factor of a second faster to 60mph and taking curves a bit faster. Besides sacrificing price, you lose gas mileage about 2mpg less, no spare tire, and no 18” wheel option, which improves ride over bumps. Lag/lurch from a stop present in both vehicles. Paddle shifters can be optioned on the 28i if you want. So choosing the M35i makes sense on those days you want to canyon carve, but not ordinarily. Whaddaya wanna pay for that “wow”?
Apart from which X1 to choose, I decided the 28i was roomy, quick, nimble, and quiet. My choice over a Benz or Audi or gas engine XC40 Volvo. Paid $45K with all options except paddle shifters and bigger wheels.
Hey Anthony, great review. I like each of them but would most likely chose the M. This is so much better than the previous generation. Hoping you are well!

They are both nice and congratulations John 👍
I just test drove both, there is no comparison. The M35i is a beast. If you can afford it, it is worth it.

I agree the m35i is awesome James
❤ my BMW X1
Congrats they are nice
Nice review between the 2 vehicles. M35i is my choice, with a cost of course.
Thank you 👍
wish had full M in x1m35i . Hope they bring out full m in x1 in future
That would be awesome
Adaptive suspension is probably harder in any setting than standard
It’s not bad but it will be sporty 👍
Your video was very informative and a pleasure to watch. Looking forward to more👍🏽 Keep up the Awesome work✅
Thank you I appreciate that that 👍
Here in Canada, the M35 is 8k CAD more than a 28i M sport. Not sure that's worth it.
That is steep thanks for sharing
