Will take my E60 in for the first service next Tuesday.
Have arranged a test drive for a E90 325xiA.
Now when it's cold and really snowy, it will be really interesting.
Have not driven a 4WD since some 4-5 years ago in the summer with a 325iXA E46.
(Note the model markings!)

Down to xDrive, my car has it and the E90 318i I got for from Avis during the service was an ordinary RWD. After driving this winter with 4WD, coming back to ordinary car was interesting. I had to drive again carefully and take a new approach like with my previous cars. With xDrive I just steer the wheel and the car goes like a tank, but 318i was from another world...nothing to compare with xDrive. During the last days I have test driven my car on highways with left side of my car in 15-20 cm snow and right side on hard asphalt. None single problem in control or performance has appeared up to speed of 140-150 km/h. Try that on ordinary car and you can see the result...
Please report what think of test car. I haven't driven an ordinary E60 in snow, so a direct comparison may be difficult with 318i and my own car.

Hi there cmansbimmer, I read the Forum every day. I rarely post as I don't own an E60, I have a Volvo. I came across the Forum from a review in BMW car Magazine. I guess my main reason for joining was to find out more of the technical details of the cars, as that is something that interests me and, I am glad to say, we get plenty of.
Cheers, Stewart.
