Anyone driving the xi yet?
I'm planning to get a 325 xi but I'm waiting for a chance to test drive it first. The dealer here doesn't have one for test-drive yet.
Anyone take delivery yet? How does it drive? |

XI - aka the 325xi or the 330xi. instead of the 325i its the all wheel version of the car - with the BMW X-Drive system.

I drove all kinds of the 3series x-models during the last months. The traction is much better than the normal 3series. Nevertheless I think it only makes sense with the 330i or 330d. Especially the 330d is the perfect engine for the all wheel drive. The acceleration is amazing, even on slippery roads. The 325 seems to be a bit underpowered because the all wheel drive 'steals' some horsepower. Of course you have to have manual transmission

By mid October, you'll have your fair share of xi reports.
