After a full week with my X5 .....

It drives great in the rain !!!

Haven't been able to drive the damn thing on dry land. Haven't been able to wash it or anything ! It hasn't stopped raining in freakin So Cal !!!!

Ok, that's the end of my rant....

I just texted and ranted yesterday to my Mom and some friends that I have NOT driven my new 2011 35d on dry land. I've cleaned it a few times (in vain of course) while parked in the garage, dirty and wet...knowing I will have to drive it again in the rain later. It's killing me having it so damn dirty. I mean, I'd like just one day to drive it without wet umbrellas, wet shoes, mud splashed on the running boards, leaves stuck and ground into the wheel wells.....

Yeah, it drives AWESOME in the rain, and my staggered 20" 214 wheels handle very well!!!

Congrats. Pics???

When do you think it will be warm/dry enough to wash here?

Approximate melt date guess?

All you that live in the Northwest, we have something called winter, poor babies, melt date, etc....

Uhhh, we live in Southern California, because we do NOT want to deal with what you guys have to go through!! LOL

So, for us cry babies....we are just not used to it. And it sucks with a brand new car!! Usually around this time, we have 70-75F and bright sunny skies!!

Should we send you care packages for all that rain

In lovely Minnesota we have had over 40" of snow already, around 32" is sitting on my lawn. I've been shopping for a plow attachment for the X5

I did see the mountains in California got up to 13 feet of snow. Now that is impressive, wonder how well my wipers would work?

I'm in Minny too BigX -- we're really having and "old school" winter this year, aren't we?

I ain't happy about it either....Older I get, the more I hate winter
