What are you using this winter?
I was not keen to use the 35i when the weather is really nasty and the M140i is not ideal in some conditions. So I looked around for a cheap “bomb” to run around in. And so here it is! A 16 year old X5 3.0 petrol. 122 miles with a full history. For only £2k!!! And guess what? I love it!
So what are you running instead of your Z or are you doing snow Z?

she's quite petite.
'compact and bijou' i think they say in property / real estate circles.
what she lacks in size she more than makes up for in intelligence, attitude and presence!

Just dumped an A200 and added an X3 to the fleet, using the Z4 most days but when the going gets tough i can be found in the X3
There was no way the Z was going when pitted against the A200 during the Wifey negotiations
Cant beat an X... don't know why ive taken so long to warm to them

Bought this for running around in the winter.... brilliant in the snow! Keyless entry, push button start, climate control, heated mirrors and 0 RFL! Oh and totally impracticable like the Z
