BMW; x drive for non SUVs...
Just noticed that x drive in now available here on the 1 and 3 series. But sadly only diesels for the one and only the 320i for the 3, although the 330d does have the option.
Could be useful for some?!

The reviews for the x drive 1 series all seem positive - few mentioned that the X drive systems reduces the under steer, and might help the BMW rubbish in the snow syndrome, but I guess its more to compete with Audi.
Xdrive M135i would be good but BMW dont seem to want to bring that into the UK !

I had a similar response from dealers down here when I wanted to test an M135i. They seem to think its some sort of exotica. Couldn't get a steer in a 335d before I bought mine either. SW BMW dealers need to sharpen up their act or Sytners will get our money again.

Now if they do an 4 Series X-drive with a few decent engines, then they may well get my money. I think the 4 Series looks very good.
Normally, I'd choose an A5 over a 3 series because the A5 can come with AWD.
I prefer AWD for everyday driving, as it doesn't matter if it's dry, wet, or snowing, AWD gives you the added security, and even in the wet you can get out of junctions quickly withouit all that wheelspinning rubbish
