Michelin XIcexi3 are usually preferred for having outstanding snow/ice traction, but do better on the dry surfaces during winter. Nokian Hakkapeliitta are also highly regarded, but usually more expensive and harder to find locally in case of urgent need for service. Check tirerack.com's ratings and test results.... About 4 seasons is typical...depends on your driving distance and style

No, lol....never did and don't. Don't own any stock and don't know anyone there! Just a long time, happy customer. Used to work for one of the so-called "Big Three" in Detroit, but retired and went back to work for a Tier I supplier.

No, but colors such as Glacier Silver, Melbourne Red, and Mediterranean Blue are only available on non M-Sport models

I can't understand why BMW would offer an extremely popular color like Glacier Silver Metallic for the Sport and Luxury models but not for the top trim M Sport. Glacier Silver was available for all three 2018 F30 models and I hope that it will be for the G20 as well.

If you have trouble with pocket dialing then you're obviously doing something wrong especially if you say you are an engineer. I've never had a pocket dial in my life and I've had various phones. So how do you pocket start a car? On Hondas you have to press the lock button twice and hold the start button for about 3-5 seconds. |

My new F250 is the first vehicle I’ve owned with remote start and while I’ve never wanted one it really is brilliant and I use it much more than I would have thought.
Neat feature is if it’s cold out side it automatically turns on the heat and heated seats. When hot it turns on the AC and AC seats. |

My Wife would not get the BMW X3 because it did not offer Remote Start, she decided on a (GASP) Cadillac SRX. She is due next year for a new vehicle, this is good news for me, I do not care for her car much.

I can see the appeal of leaving your car idling from a cold start for ages, in a manner that every car maker advises against, being a big hit with the lease-payment, CPO value protection, balloon-payment GMFV corporate three-year pump-and-dumpers before they move onto the new shiny. Others, not so much
Also here in Britain, or “Thief Island” as it’s not uncommonly known, remote start basically means you can arrange for your car to be stolen from you outside your house without having to be knifed or your home invaded for it. So it’ll be popular here too... |

I want my ventilated seats with all-way power control, my luxury widescreen dashboard television and 20" wheels that weigh 50 kg per corner. I also want ///Massive Brakes adding another 25kg per corner for when I go auto-xing, and a metric ton of additional plastic on the bumpers so I can say I have a different car. I want my radar controls, my buttons for everything, more airbags than Congress and oh I also want it to weigh under 3,000 lb and drive exactly like an E46, which was the last decent car BMW made.
BMW, welcome to the modern enthusiasts' car market! |

Oh, and idling your car is actually illegal in the UK and Germany, irrespective of the weather. Last edited by ScottAndrew; 10-16-2018 at 01:02 PM.. |

Guess I'll be driving a non M sport 330i if I go the new G20 route. I need a silver vehicle to replace the silver MB ML350 to match the new X3M40i in silver |
