Drove the 435dX on a skid pan

Seemed good

[allforus]

Had a 435 the other day as a courtesy car I like it as well thought about the 330 but for the differance in price thinking why not going to have a good drive of one some time this week and see how it goes

allforus..... I am sorry to say I can't assist you other than suggesting you take an extended test drive.

Not read or heard anything to give concerns and I despite not having driven one I would happily own one myself if in market for same and having had a decent go in one.

If you don't need higher  ground clearance, want a decent 4wd estate of this size then it has to be worth a look perhaps along with any audi alternative for similar money.

What more is there he needs to know ! )

I learnt that as it starts to slide you can boot the throttle and it pretty much sorts itself out.

Surely everybody does this on the roundabouts to work, I know I do!!

Yes same as the X5s, you'd be daft not to spend the extra on the twin turbo 40d, oh hold on........

Now now I ask a sensible question the x5 is the wife's car 30d is way quick enough but don't tell her I said that  )

My old man said that we bought the porsche. "Why did you buy her the S one?"

But she is blond, so she will get away with it  )

[allforus]

how did you guess she was blond but she is the only one of us whos been on the bmw driving day and drove like a mad women

I'm assuming you're talking about the diesel and not the petrol version.  I had a 335i convertible and that engine was sublime.

In fact no she didn't last time !!

Few years ago now (two cars back-her 3.0 A4 cab)She had a black BMW come up behind her so she floored it.

Unmarked car !!

Told them she was drying the car off cos I had just washed it!!

Didn't work as it was too fast so they had to do something. They knocked the speed down so it was just fine and points.
