Difference btw X28i vs X35i

Aside from the turbo engine and wheels, what does the 35i have as standard that the 28i doesn't have?

Too many detail differences to list. Please go to the BMW USA website and look at the overview and "Features and specs."

So far what I found standard on the x35i vs. the x25i is:

-Turbo
-Y Spoke Wheels
-Chrome Tailpipes
-Xenon Adaptive Headlights with auto-leveling, and LED Corona headlight-rings
-Adaptive Light Control with LED Adaptive Brakelights
-Fineline Siena Wood trim

Am I missing anything?

Also the shifter paddles are only available on the 35i and not 28i when adding the sport activity package.

love my paddle shifters - especially that the right one is for + and the left one is for - ... on my wife's Cooper S you have to pull toward you to shift up and push away from you to push down - I always forget which way to push her buttons

I use the radio very often, when I'm driving casually, and the upgrade for me made all the difference. It is one of the best manufacturer installed systems I've had in a car.

The Premium Audio is an option on the 3.5.

I ordered it on my 2.8 and hope it's as good as everyone says!

I'm no audio expert in any way, so I can't say how good the upgraded system is compared to others. It is without a doubt dramatically better than the base system. Not one of these things you notice only when cranking up one of your favorite songs. It's better with radio, voice, audio books, telephone calls, music, maybe even the nav voice (not entirely sure how that one works). A must-have option for me.
