The 35i has the turbo/intercooled N55 I6 (300hp)

We got the 2011 28i it has plenty of power for us.

When you find one you like enter the VIN on BMW site and it will bring up all the
Options when it was built.

N20's have issues? All of them? or just the ones you might've read about (which isn't a lot)

OP, I've got TWO N20's with high mileage. Both operating 100%. Nothing wrong with a well maintained N20 my friend
