I think these would be my favourite choice

OK...So spent a few hours bombing around in the snow...Wow what a night and day compared to my 2012 E70 M-sport. The refinement is stepped upped drastically. Throttle response is spot on. Sounds great, very comfortable, Almost more comfortable then my 13 750i.

Once I break it in ill push it a little harder to see what it can do. So far iam very pleased with the purchase. looking forward to the next 39 months with this thing.

None of you will be disappointed with the 50i.

Happy driving

Man, I'm going to be very torn between 35d and 50i....Owned an x6 50i and loved it - sounded awesome...And I loved the torque of the diesel on my E70 too - but it didn't sound nearly as sexy at the V8

Do you have the Dynamic Handling package, adaptive M suspension, or stock?
I'm trying to decide if I want to spend the bucks on ZDH

Thanks for sharing your insight. If I recall some auto magazine reviewers stated that there was hesitation from a dead stop. Great to hear otherwise.
As you stated previously, on your delivery date lots of snow was promised. I see you made the most of it hours bombing about in the snow. Did you see anyone doing donuts?

In Canada, the MSport package contains the Adaptive M suspension so he has that at least. Only option would be Dynamic Adaptive Suspension which I'm also curious to know if found that to be worthwhile.

This wasn't a BMW option here in canada. I purchased a set of 20 inch tires and had them mounted prior to delivery...anyone can do this.

I have 20 inch M sport rims on my 750i as well. I don't under stand why people put on shitty smaller rims in the winter. Here in Canada winter ishalf the year, Might as well have my cars look good all year round.....The shoes should always match the suit!!

I understand the sentiment for sure. And living in MN, I know winter well too. Usually I've opted for 18's and a bit skinnier rubber for more bite in the winter. But hell, any snow tire with x drive is going to kick some serious winter ass. If you love the 20's enjoy em bros!

I am curious how much winter tires cost in 20" size And I guess you are more limited with choices since not too many manufacturers make it in that size. But so true about having long winters might as well have your car look great all year long! Will def. do that when it's our turn for new X5

Very nice, I do wonder if the side opening on the rear of front fenders will be a pain during the winter months as the wet slush and wheel spray may continually find its way through the opening and leave never ending residue down the front half of the vehicle ? maybe some kind of a filter panel can be placed in the opening?. It seems as though the lower rocker panel has been reshaped so as not to get the back of your pant leg all covered in road pick-up as one exits the vehicle, the previous M sport side skirt design is a bit of a bugger.

Can't speak for the OP but I got the Pirelli Scorpions from Tire Rack which were $1500 before shipping and taxes. The dealer wanted twice as much and I couldn't find a tire shop in town that could beat that price.

Thanks! Better to get the tires yourself & get the dealer to install them rather than to pay their mark up!
