No Sport or ARS suspension with AWD...and it rides high like an SUV, wheel options are limited, and it's not necessary around here.
Ahh thats right, ix cars don't get suspension upgrades
Then yeah, same here I wouldn't buy awd cars either.

I am moving to Boston.
While I was there for few days last month, I only saw one e60 and it was M5 driven by an white-haired gentleman
It was very different setting.
(LA: nice cars everywhere....car-washed weekly....e60 is like Camry here cuz I pass by so many of 'em every day
Boston: more practical+reliable car that takes ppl from point A to
I lived in Pittsburgh and had a mustang (RWD)...man, I don't wanna experience driving RWD in snow again...
Driving 5 mph in snow felt like I was on Autobahn.
(it's scary when road starts to freezing up at night)
M5 will be my next car when I move back to west coast.
Meanwhile, I can use ACS front lip on my car as snow shovel.

Mustangs on summer tires are not driveable in snow. When I was young and stupid I found out the hard way.
BMW 5 Series (non-Xi, RWD versions) with 4 dedicated snow tires (Bridgeston Blizzaks, Dunlop Wintersport M3s, etc) is driveable in snow.

Torturer. 
I did notice that on the second M5 is listed as having a "steptronic" transmission. Hmmm, must be a one-off.
