28i vs m35i long term impressions

I test drove an xdrive28i the other day and I was pleasantly surprised. Especially in sport mode. The ride, handling, and acceleration were great. The only downside I felt were the seats.

Couple questions for you guys that have driven one or the other, or maybe both:

-Is the consensus the 35i is worth the upgrade? Or do members with the 28i feel that the car has enough power? I know this is subjective I'm just curious what people feel after owning the car for awhile.

-Does the 35i suffer from more "throttle delay" than the 28i? I'm just starting to read about this on the forums.

-How has the rear-view visibility played out? It's always brought up as a negative, so I'm curious how drivers have gotten used to it or dealt with it.

-Did everyone get used to the seats? By default they seem to lack a little lumbar (for me) and I couldn't get them adjusted quite right during testing. I also have a wide pelvis so the side grips were fighting me a bit.
