So we bought the Xi last July. We labored over the 328Xi or the 335i...cost being a factor. Being in Iowa, we have had a tough winter this year. Lots of heavy snow. I must say the Xi has proven its worth already. The wife drives the car in town and on the interstate everyday. Our car has gained our confidence and praise so I have no concerns about her getting around.
I do have regrets about not biting the bullet and getting the 335 but this is our first Bimmer so maybe the next! Now I would need the 335Xi to be satisfied
