Now my 2nd is an '08 650i CP, Space Gray, Blk Dakota, Sprt. Auto, HUD, Sprt. Pkg., Prem. Sound, High Beam Ast. & Comfort Access
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.

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