well for the current engines, the MPG is exactly the same! reason is the 35i is just a turbo version fo the 28i.

now as far as speed, there is a pretty major difference, depends on what you view as speed but for a baby wagon 0-60 is your best measure and there is over a 1 second difference between the two engines (I think some magazine tested the 35i at 5.3 and the 28i will be around 6.7)!

for a 2011 model I would go 35i all the way (especially if leasing), for 2012 if there are new engines its a lot tougher choice.
