I'm enjoying all of the viewpoints here. At this point, I am def leaning toward the BMW and now my internal debate is around AWD vs. RWD (and I know this has been covered in many prior posts).
I always get a second set of winter wheels/tires for my cars (even my SUVs and the 997) and I like driving on summer tires during warmer weather. I firmly believe that snow tires on a RWD car are better than all-seasons on an AWD car. Has anyone with snows on rwd wished they had awd because the rwd didn't provide enough traction? I ask because I have never driven a RWD car with winter tires in the snow (I get winter tires for my 997 because i want grip on cold pavement as the summer tires become hockey pucks - I learned that the hard way long ago).
I'm interested in the RWD for the slight improvement in handling, but also for summer tires and fatter wheel/tires in the rear. Is there something with the xdrive system that prevents fatter tires in the back?
Also - have people generally observed better resale value of xdrive cars?
