I did go out and tried some hard turns in snow later yesterday. The AWD and VDIM works perfectly to keep the car in the line.

The more I drove the car, the more I started to trust it. I came across a Merc C63 coupe when I was doing that, and that poor guy was sliding all over the place...

haha, I just did my rounds this morning with my 8-year old daughter. With the TRAC off, the system is less intrusive allowing for some more interesting drifts.

@KumaF Beautiful. My 1st color choice. I love it. But the Nebula/red combo is a looker too. As corradoMR2 said tho -- there are no bad colors in this lineup.

In that top pic it looks like your garage is too skinny for the car.

Thank you! For the garage size, it might just be the angle since it fits X5 just fine lol.

I thought I was going crazy but I saw one, an F-Sport Atomic silver, last night coming home... down here in Miami! maybe it was somebody from Canada, I see a lot of people come down from Canada for winter and spend months down here so I guess that might explain it but it looks pretty damn good.

Car looks sweet, congratz!

Thank you. This is one of the reasons why I chose it over NG.

Thank you. That's possible since I know a coupe of people who spend most of their winter in the US.
