But I took a look and you can find 2nd gen X3s for ~ $30k, even the 35i. I have a lot of friends with them. |
We have an X4M as well, but its the wife's

Around here snow has little to do with it — it's the salt that absolutely destroys cars.
Pick up a used Mini AWD stick shift for $5k and have lots of fun in the crappy weather and save the M2C from corrosion and cancer (rust).

Yep, that is exactly my reason as well. It's not the ability, but don't want to put the m2 through these winters.
