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........

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.
