Thanks for the feedback guys.

Lee, yes the 550i as optioned is getting close to M5 territory in price. For me, like yourself, the xDrive was a must, though. I lived with RWD on my last two 3-series, and winter was never fun. I always told myself that it was a few short months of the year. However, the xDrive has come a long way since it was introduced, and the performance of the car actually felt superior to me with it versus without it.

nal13 - I can see that... it's easy to get to speed w/o trying.

I read on some other threads issues with the RFTs in the earlier years for the F10. Can anyone shed any light on the RFTs they're using now? I had Bridgestone Potenza RFTs on my 335i when I picked it up new and got rid of them a mere 3 months later in favor of non-RFTs. So my last RFT experience was 6+ years ago now. Has the situation improved?
