Granted the twin turbo 6 in the 435i is more powerful than the twin turbo 4 in the 428i, but the 428i's torque band and acceleration are more than worthy of the "The Ultimate Driving Machine" tagline, contrary to what Matt the so-called "auto expert" sneeringly asserted. Not so long ago (mid-1990s), a 0-60 mph time of 5.3 seconds was par for the course for a Porsche 911 Carrera or an Acura NSX.
