I think it has a funkiness about it in addition to rwd bias (the 2014 version), good hyrdraulic steering and dynamic ability that separates it from the CR-V/small ute purchasing crowd. We want AWD, so the GTI is out and the Golf R is too small (the X1 may wind up too small as well).

It sounds like you are wedded to AWD. But if not completely, we will likely being selling our 2012 328iT in the first half of this year. We have a spare set of OEM 16-inch wheels for winters, in addition to the stock 17s which are currently wearing new Michelin A/S 3+.
We're not yet at 30,000k miles. (Just under 28k at present.) As you know, it is the very last year of the 6 cylinder RWD BMW wagons. It has nearly all the options available at the time. It has been completely trouble-free (knock wood.) |
