How is yours in the snow?
Another years warranty, now that is interesting. Dealers did this a few months ago but only for a month of so. I asked a dealer the other day about whether this could still be available on AUC cars but they said it wasn't. Maybe some dealers are happy to pay the cost themselves to bag a deal.

Not used ours in the snow yet, it arrived just as the snow melted last year, I'm not expecting great things to be honest (as long as it's better than my E90 was at the time).

Strange, some people are happy with it, but it really grates me (and I'm used to firm suspension). Maybe different tyre brands are making the difference in some cases.

The 3.0d is a great engine but a bit thirsty on juice I thought - ours does about 26-28mpg on average (tootling about 99% of the time). Would have liked to have seen better but ours is a pre-ED car; things improved on post-ED cars.
