the article also said that all is great as it should with E60 and the Xdrive is great however it is no more typical great BMW handling... simply it is a diffrent story. I don't say bad.......it is just not an excelent BMW rear drive vehicle with its attributes.

My Ride: in 2005... a completly crashed Audi A4 3.0 Quattro.
... 24th Jan. 2006... a new 530xd Touring
I will receive my 530xd E61 tomorrow....!!!
I had an Audi Quattro before and I was wondering if the Xdrive system was as efficient as the Audi Quattro...
Now... I'm sure....
Thank you for the link.... I will bring them the movie tomorrow....!!!
And I will maybe have a nice discount.... 
(too late... it was paid today... :'( )

I still think that if you want a 4x4 then Audi Quattro is the one and only - real full time one.
However I must admit that the Xdrive on E60 is very nice, one of the best non Audi cars 4x4.... huge step wrom the old 330x cars

Oops...sorry about your Audi. But your wife is alive and well and that's most important. Looks like Audi is not a bad car from the safety perspective.
