BMW had a lot of interest since the xDrive versions announced. Given the fact we've just had another bucketload of snow (in March!) and with last summer being a washout I think it's getting more popular. BMW wouldn't have bothered introducing the xDrive range into the UK if they didn't believe there was a market for it. I can't speak for others but Audi and BMW offered top price for my A3 given the fact it was a Quattro. I also know a number of people who have either moved away from BMW or have chosen other vehicles simply because of the handling in poor weather conditions.

Yeah, fair point. Just different horses for different courses. If I was buying a car for the Mrs then I would definitely consider the drive. But since this will be my car and the Mrs won't be driving it as its stupid money to insure her on it, that's not something I need to consider.

It was a F31 tourer i had, no I don't i sold it a few weeks ago. There is few newish 330d's about, but to get your spec with vss & uprated brakes it will have to be a factory order id think. |

BMW = Poor handling in winter conditions. I can't say I have ever thought that as being a true statement. Bad weather brings the worst out in all types of car. FWD is no different. I guess it comes down to RWD requiring a level of skill to control.......sounds to me like Mr Average hasn't got a clue. Shame they can now own a BMW |

Once the 4 series is here i will move back into it, probably March when Msport is released. Ideally 335d but supposedly its xdrive only, time will tell. I was close to buying a TTRS plus... |

Cool. When does it arrive mate?
TTRS would have been tempting, and indeed I have my eye on the 2 and 4 series next!
