My observations are consistent with yours -- I noticed that the 28i has very conservative throttle tip-in when I test drove. Seemed anemic to me at first. Once you get used to it, the 28i actually has plenty of power. So I think it's a matter of figuring out how to step on the gas to make it do what you want. I adjusted by the end of the test drive, but wasn't thrilled about it -- all of my current cars have a more linear throttle tip-in, and it's something you get used to.
I will say, the throttle behavior was one thing that pushed me towards the 35i. It's not as smooth as the 28i (tip in is more edgy), but it has more linear throttle response off the line. It's almost like the 35i has a pseudo-"sport mode" throttle map compared to "normal" in the 28i.
