The true test would be for a 28i owner to take a quick peek and see if there is any indication of a side mounted air bag. It's also quite possible that the early builds, which we have, did have a difference between the 28i and 35i and since then there has been some adjustment of std features. Unfortunately I didn't make it home to check the exact location on the wife's 35i. If they are equally equipped in the air bag side of things just don't tell my wife!! She might think I pulled a fast one on her!
Also, another diff between the 28i and 35i is that the 35i gets the cool adaptive LED brake lights standard. The brake lights light differently depending on how aggressively you engage the brakes. When in a full panic stop the 35i brake lights will light up much brighter while the 28i brake lights light output stays static.

Oh, yeah, this would definitely not be the fist time BMW has made a mistake on their website. Frankly, I find their website sort of their weakest link which is disappointing for them.
I totally forgot to look at my car last night too. I'll try to remember to look again when I get home this evening (I take the bus to work). Between the two of us we should be able to confirm this..., in a few days.
Yes, I can agree on the LED brake lights having a more instantaneous illumination. I did not know the 35i had them. Since they did LED on almost everything else, I was surprised the brake lights, turn signals were all incandescent bulbs. The 35i is still a car to be envied. I promise not to tell your wife.
