when you're driving around in the Canada and the US, how often do you see another X1 that has the optional M-Sport package exterior? (the 28i, not m35i)

I've had my X1 28i with M-Sport for a long time. I see other X1 28i on the streets quite often, at least a few times a week, but all are with the X Line trim.

This morning was the very first time that I saw another 28i with M-Sport exterior. It was a black one with very large all-black wheels(aftermarket?). Tennessee license plate and a large sticker on the back window for one of the two presidential candidates. It also had what looked like Thule all-black roof racks. Maybe the owner is also here on this forum?

Same here. But there’s not a lot of new X1s around where I live.

I still don't see many U11 X1s in my area. But I'd say the M-Sports are about 10% of the X1s I see.

I don't know if this is a good thing or bad thing, but I often get asked by strangers... "how do you like your new M35i?" I really can't figure this one out. If someone knows BMW enough to know what a "M35i" is, how can he not tell the difference between a 28i with M Sport exterior from a real M35i?

There was just one guy in a new Audi A7 who thought I was mistaken. He insisted that I was driving a M35i. I had to point to the xdrive28i badge on the back before he admitted that he was wrong.

These days, I just respond with "not sure, this is a rental" or "don't know, this is my wife's car" and be on my way. Saves time.

I've seen maybe 2 M Sports driving around and the only M35 I've seen so far has been one someone posted on FB Marketplace looking for someone to take over their lease.
