This car is a stylish and great car to buy, but I do have one MAJOR problem with the car. When I got this car it was before they had 4-wheel drive .. and MY GOD! it is HORRIBLE in the snow.... You MUST get the BMW 525X with 40wheel drive. With out 4-wheel drive you are useless in the winter time. I experienced sliding backwards while driving up a hill with just a dusting of snow on the road! not to mention I do not have snow tires. But even with Snow tires and traction control, with out 4-wheel drive... the car is almost useless in the snow....thank god my lease is up soon! If you do not have 4-wheel drive or another car to drive in the snow, you cant go anywhere even if its a tiny bit of snow on the roads.... 3 to 5 times each winter I was stuck on the side of the road seeking a tow truck or a ride home.....its not a good thing....and its to much of a hassle to get out of a lease....so I would recommend not getting this car unless it has 4-wheel drive! :c)
