Did test drive today - on compleately icy roads, in southern Finland - a E90 325xiA.

Did run a couple of hundred miles, with a big smile on my face all the time.

The BMW xDrive is fantastic, great, superiour... simply incredible in a postive way!


I do not remember having such fun in a long time...

Amen, to that!

Don't be silly, there is no such temperature.

I know this because my freezer thermometer only goes down to -20C

:rolleyes:

I love my xdrive also. Only had one chance to really try it out this year, but sooner or later we will get a blizzard and I am going to love letting those big 4wd trucks see me.

Lucky You!! Fun at last! :thumbsup:

We don't have any snow anymore here in Scotland! But that is good because no xDrive, nor studed tyres.

have you tried audi's quattro ? bmw is lagging behind, only the new generation x-drive found
in the second gen X5 (and soon to find its way in the 3-series) is coming close to audi's effort

I agree... the Audi Quattro (Torsen version, not Haldex) is the truely great to drive in slippery conditions and feels much more capable than x-drive (although I haven't had a chance to drive an E70 yet). However, Audi lose out in some other areas (mostly steering feel and front/rear balance)
