28i window sticker?
Has anyone seen a window sticker from a 28i yet? I've seen 35i stickers with 19 city / 26 highway MPG, but I'm curious about the smaller engine. I'm thinking that the people listing 17/24 are taking the data from somewhere else and are wrong.

Apparently there's nothing official yet. There's been speculation that the lower gearing (rear axle ratio, to be specific) on the 28i wrecks the mileage formula. That seems plausible, and would explain the delay as BMW tries to figure out what to do about it. Bad EPA mileage numbers would surely hurt the sales of this car.

Per 2011 BMW x3 28i window sticker epa mpg= 19/25 mpg-35i is 19/26 mpg. The 28i has 3.73 gears vs 35i 3.39 gears AND taller tires. 35i = 1650 rpm at 60 mph vs 28i 1850 rpm at 60 mph.

Wow, that's a huge disappointment! I wanted to go for the most efficient combo. Maybe I'll wait to see if they bring an oil burner.

That number kills any chance of me getting a 2.8, I'll get an X1 or Countryman S. Already had a 2004 and 2007 and that's little to no progress in mpg for the 2.8.

Seen the sticker in person. Definitely a bit disappointed. Still not official according to fueleconomy.com, not listed yet. I was expecting something like 20/27
