Yes................ My wife's wagon totally outperformed my tuned M5

.....in the snow.

LOL, but in all seriousness........i love her wagon, its a fun car and it drives amazing in bad weather.

That's seriously an awesome wagon.

Awesome wagon. Diesel? Drove 328xi loaner today in the deep stuff and still can't get over how well composed it was almost regardless of how deep the snow got. I love wagons. My wife drives a E320 wagon and it is excellent as well.
I was so very close to driving a new diesel wagon home last week but changed my mind last minute and went with something completely different (an old Range Rover). Now if they made a diesel wagon with a manual transmission I would have one already.

I see some Conti DWS tires.

My wife has them on her IS 350.

That's a beautiful looking wagon. Did you add those aftermarket features or came from factory? The front and sides! Also, curious, what is the square in the front grill. It could be the angle.

Beautiful wagon!!

I had a f31 328d before my 535. The car was awesome but I was very disappointed on the hip room and trunk space. Had to get rid of it after a month of ownership... Otherwise a great car!!
