Excellent vehicle for toting kids/dogs. Superbly reliable. With top rated winter tires, can get through deep snow with Xdrive. Heated seats and steering keep you toasty. NAV, Bluetooth, everything you need. BMW cup holders aren't super well placed but minor issue. Super handling and BMW breaking can't be beaten.

Excellent car for the city or highway. Great pick up and reasonable city fuel performance. AWD means you feel very comfortable regardless of conditions, even though the car is smallish. Add top rated winter tires and this vehicle can make it though just about anything. I have never gotten stuck even though our street is the last to be plower in the city! Lots of room for groceries, kids and dogs.
