My E70 was fine in the snow in rural Perthshire this year, brand new tyres on 19x9J rims. Seriously considering 18x8Js and a set of winters this year. My E53s were on 8in non-sport wheels and never got stuck in the snow once.

To come back on topic, the running boards are only available on the SE. I prefer them, and could not justify the the 'M' cost upgrade for what is really just body coloured trim.

Nice review on Top Gear by the way :D

Ref the Cayenne, that was my other option (the 3.0lt D version). Based on same deposit, Porsche were a £110 a month more expensive on like for like terms.

Also thought it was too much of a 'shiny' car if you know what I mean.

Still loving the car, just need to find some winter tyres and rims for it :cry:

For me the combination of the SE with running boards and the aero kit all colour coded (arches, running boards, etc) did it for me, I think it looks better than the M Sport but I am slightly bias.....
