Has anyone seen one of these in person? Driven in it? Care to share your impressions? I thought I wanted an X5, but my new garage is vertically challenged  Am thinking this would be the best way to go. I read an excellent review of it on some web site -- but would love the impressions of BMW enthusiasts. Anyone? | | Reply » 530xiT |
Quote: Yeah, I knew there was a problem when I saw the SMG is not available on an AWD Touring -- gee, I wonder why. (Yes, I admit, for a second I thought I could "have it all.")
Fact is I need the AWD for the snow -- moving to Colorado Springs. So I have my trusty Z3 for the fun, tooling around in nice weather driving. And I get the technologically advanced x-drive to help me deal with the white cold stuff. | AWD is nice for snow (I am originally from Broomfield/Boulder) but it isn't totally necessary IMO. BMWs with their dynamic stability control and a good set of snow tires will take you VERY far...VERY far. I know lots of folks in New England who do quite well with their E39s/E60 and a set of Blizzaks.
Yeah, you'll need to buy a set of rims and tires and have storage for the sets.
Just something extra to chew on and another possible option for you....

I actually liked it the way it was originally.
Now I have to visit two different forums as I like reading about both the E39 and E60.
No way would I like it sub-divided more.
Please do not take my comment seriously!!!
