28i M Sport Pkg owners?

jacb1301 · 05-26-2011, 02:57 AM

Seems the vast majority of the owners are 35i drivers. Waiting on my 28i M Sport Pkg and just curious if there are any others either driving theirs already or have one on order and "patiently" waiting like I am.

Anyway, if you want to post pics or discuss feel free. How are you doing on gas mileage? It looks like all the 35i M Pgk's have the Normal/Sport/Sport+ switch...and the one pic I saw of a
28i M Sport Pack didn't. So if anyone want's to point that out, that would be cool. Here's what I have on order:

Alpine White 28i
Mojave Leather
Dark Fineline Wood trim
M Sport Pkg
Tech Pkg
Conv Pkg
Prem Pkg
Heated Seats/Steering
Split Fold Rear Seats

Since the X328 doesn't have the sport auto transmission, my guess is the normal/sport/sport+ switches wouldn't do anything to the transmission. it'll be interesting to see. (since the M Sport still should offer variable sport steering.)

some markets don't even offer the M Sport on X328.

No MSport on 28i available in Canada. Only on 35i.

Interesting, I didn't even realize that other regions or markets weren't offering it. We ordered ours through the military car sales so it is being delivered to us at our base in Italy. When I made the order I didn't expect to have the suspension switch, so if it came with it it would be a unexpected perk. Either way, we are very excited to have the vehicle on the way. Hasn't even gone in to production yet....grrr!

so its the 28i same engine as the current 328i?

There is an increase in power vs the 3 series. It's certainly needed to haul all that mass.

In the US both x3's get the same
Transmission...the only difference
Is that the x328 doesn't get paddle
Shifters.

X335 gets the sport auto transmission - same hardware but different software tuning. shifter also looks different. the "Sport Auto" variation has been around since the E60.
