Question for X3 28i owners who ordered the Sports Activity Package
The web site and the options brochure are pretty clear that the following feature is not part of the Sports Activity Package for the 28i, but it is for the 35i.
If you own a 28i and ordered the SAP, did you get this feature? The only reason that I ask is that the price of the SAP is the same for the 28i and 35i ($1700). Thanks, Cliff |

With the X328i you get the auto transmission with the sport and manual mode but you DON'T get the paddle shifters, only the X335i gets the paddle shifters.
I had the shifters on my E90 LCI as Much fun as they are I don't miss them now that I picked up my '12 X328i. Good luck on your build!!!

Thanks for the replies, everyone.
If you don't have a button, how do you switch between the Normal and the Sport modes? Also, if there's no button, how do you know that the Normal/Sport transmission option is a feature of the Sports Activity Package and not just standard on all X3s?

The shift handle is moved to the right and on the dash board display you will see DS(sport mode) plus the RPM's rise...the shift handle on the same position you move it up/down and you are now on MANUAL mode on the dash board you will see a # i.e. 4 that is the gear you are on..
This is the same as on the E90 less the shifter paddles..

I meant to say that the Shift handle is moved to the LEFT to put the transmission on the SPORT/MANUAL mode...!!!
If you have time set up a test drive at your local BMW dealer...the sales brochure can't give you all the details since they are showing you both models X3 28i

They were also surprised that the SAP list didn't show that capability. |

if you get the sport package on the 3.5, you do get a small piece of leather surrounding the base of the shifter. This doesn't come with the 2.8 sport package.
I have SAP and DHP on my 2.8. Am pleased! I would have liked the leather shifter, though, but I didn't want the turbo. |
