Our new 528 x drive

Were back in a BMW

Picked up the car last week and so far we are really enjoying it. Adequate power and very smooth on the highway. The fit and finish is top notch and we love the color combo. My wife is the primary driver but after playing around with it all week I am strongly considering getting back into a BMW as my daily driver. Here are some pictures.

Nice! Congrats & welcome back to the fold.

Nice car! But for the life of me I don't get why people obscure their license plates in these photos. It's not like you can hide it on the car.

Sweet. Congrats. Now go and get a BMW for your daily!

Nice to see some more CT people here, however if we get actual snow again this year I think you will realize how much better the Audi Quattro is than xDrive.

Congrats on the new ride !

I concur, xDrive is a one big joke compared to Quattro. Some will argue that you should put winter tires. The point is simple, Quattro with all season handles way better in snow than xDrive with all season. I was very surprised when I first experienced this.

Quattro in snow is a point and shoot machine, xDrive is more like point and lets see where it takes me this time....
