The 18s would be better in snow if more narrow. they dig deeper for more grip.

As far as MPG, a harder narrower tire (all season, etc) would get slightly better MPG but not a big difference.

Great photos! I toured the Canadian Rockies in '99. The most incredible scenery I've ever seen.

Were you actually able to camp in the Icefields parking lot?

Do you have issues with Active Cruise slowing you down if you catch a vehicle in another lane in a curve? I've followed BMWs that slow down when passing another car and wondered if it was the ACC.

I had the lane change warning on an '08 550i. It was a neat feature but not needed unless you are prone to nodding off when driving.
It worked very well. As soon as crossing either line in your...

I really like my Alpine White/Beige Nappa combination. It always gets compliments too. You get used to the stitching on the center console. Doesn't bother me any more.

Some people do like touch screens. Great on an iPhone. Not so great in a car IMHO. Its a longer reach, a longer distraction away from the road, more prone to hitting the wrong thing if going over...

Waiting for the pic with the receiver as well.
Is that a rock or just dirt in the right exhaust cutout?
Also, check your left rear tire. Is that a rock or nail in it?

I believe the AD is on all the time. Roll is minimal at all times but less with the sport button on. You can leave it in sport all the time if you prefer the more firm ride. It even restarts with...

Congrats. You'll love it. I actually prefer the way the 50i M Sport drives over the X5M. Much smoother. Plus the performance and handling are more than enough for most folks.

I have an AW 50i M Sport and love it, especially with the Beige Nappa interior. It adds a nice agression to the look. I don't care for the 19s but I get a better ride over the 20s and don't loose...

I'd be curious if rear seat side airbags injure more kids than they save. Does BMW still require a liability waiver to activate it? I wasn't asked with the X5 but was asked with previous BMWs.

Ditto with my '06 650 6MT. A rare car to buy so I paid thru the nose.
Went to sell it, "No one wants a 6MT, it will sit 6 months on the lot". I lost $10K. It sold in 2 weeks with an $8K profit...
