Yeah, I understand J, I'm dumping the X after the lease, it's just had far to many problems for me to want to deal with it, You have several friend's that own 3er's how do they handle in the snow? I remember my X (who lives in your city) had a problem with them because they we're unstable in the snow (325i not xi) so I would def make sure, but the 3 is a great car in E46 trim and E90, My mom has her 2003 325i and now has around 70k on it, no problems, drives great! What about the Volvo S40? It's a very nice car, loaded for about 30k, fun to drive, roomy, and FWD? They just recieved a facelift for 2008 and I'm really diggin it
