Winter driving conditions here since mid-November. Running on 18" Nokian Hakkapllitta 5 SUV (2009 35d). Very impressed with vehicles capabilities to date. Needed to explore and learn about use of DTC, but once mastered, one can charge through most any condition. Such a blast to takeoff from most any surface condition or incline, leaving behind other vehicles with wheels spinning away at the light (Although that used to be me in my 97 328 and 2002 530, with Blizzaks on each).

Also to date, no cold related problems, although garaged over night, during the day at the office, X has sat out in the cold for 10 hours (as low as 10 degF) and started with no hesitation (just a hint that glow plug activated). Good interior heat, love the heated seats and steering wheel. So, all in all, so far so good...

...With the exception of the dreaded check engine light (sorry, couldn't resist adding this). Also, a quick (less than 1 min) showing of the "engine malfunction" light. Vehicle is requesting first service, so we'll see what wonderful codes await.
