almost at the end of page 1 and I still don't know what hooked-up means. I thought it meant had a trailer attached at the back.
.. It just slang for the "mods" you have done to your car.

I love my XI... I love AWD actually.
I think someone needs to drive the AWD BMW vs. A RWD model and see that it feels much like a RWD car just with even more handling, so you feel more daring At least I do! I'll go hard into a 90 degree turn if I'm having fun without a worry.
Here's a video of my old Benz doing an AWD reverse donut. (with traction control on).

I love my XI. I find it scary driving the rwd loaners when the cars in for service and it's nasty out!

My Ride: 2006 530xi, Silver, Black Int, Cold Weather Package, Front, side and rear M kit
I just wish my 530xi had more balls. Other than that, I have been happy. I just ordered a set of Michelin Pilot Alpin PA3's to put on my stock 17's. I'll be sad to see the 19 inch Miros go to the basement.

My Ride: Alpine White 2006 530Xi (SLD)
HUGE storm tomorrow - like 14 states are going to be affected, or something. How many RWD cars are coming out to play? Anyone up for a meet? huh?
