Solid for a challenging climate
 For me driving in major snow storms is a given.  This vehicle does everything you need it to do and feels rock solid.  I drove through a monster storm this morning and to a ski resort last week on poor road conditions. I was never concerned.It tracks the road, is very stable and in the worst storm is balanced and steady.   Unlike some larger SUVs I have had, the size and weight distribution on this vehicle provides a feel for the road surface and an ability to get you there.  This vehicle is for someone who wants a smaller suv that can get you around in the worst of conditions.  And of course, its a BMW so it goes without saying that the interior, the reliability and the extras are fantastic
