I have a 2014 Mineral Grey 435i with around 17,000 miles on it. It has an automatic transmission and includes the M-Sport brakes with the Sportline package. I’m looking to trade for a similar car but with AWD. I am also willing to add cash on my end!

This would be an awfully costly switch just to get xDrive. Is this due to weather concerns?

[KevDon92]

Well the amount of money depends on the car...and partially.

Just get a set of hakkapellita or blizzak snow tires and wheels. Your car would perform better in winter conditions than any awd car.

Wish your car was manual.

Really? I didn’t think the difference would be that substantial.

It's a huge difference. I had Blizzaks on my RWD e92 and never had a single issue, and I prefer it much more than this AWD f32 with all seasons. AWD can help you get going faster, but snow tires can do that too, plus help you steer and stop!

It's all the difference. Spend $1k on a set of wheels and new snow tires and you will be amazed. Plus you save tread wear on your summer tires so its really not costing you too much

I drove a WRX one winter on all season. Also had a Z4 that had blizzaks on it. Guess which one I took on the days when there was snow or ice on the road?
