Sexy. I have the exact model. It took a while to get used to the rims but they've grown on me!

I love the rims. Australian spec they're standard on the xDrive30i, which has M Sport package as standard.

Is yours an x drive model? I live in San Diego currently and am thinking of moving to Seattle but I've got a RWD model. Wondering if you think it'll make a difference?
Yeah, it's xDrive - primarily for skiing/winter on the passes, but Seattle is hilly and on the rare occasions it snows or gets icy, it is nice (though I do not drive much).
If you have sDrive you'll have to chain up going across the passes. If you have AWD w/all-season tires you almost never have to. You could do winter tires though, and still likely have to chain up. Many around town seem to do winter tires on what I assume are FWD or RWD cars.
For a moment, I thought you were asking me, but clearly you weren't. Mine is an xDrive 30i, for the record. For Australian market, only the 20i comes in sDrive.
Where's that pic taken? I'm guessing my X3 will probably never see snow.
It's on WA 542, road that heads to Artist Point (currently closed/snowed in) - near Mt Baker, WA. It's a little south of the Canadian border.

It's amazing. I visit (or at least, used to before all this happened) Seattle regularly, and once hired a VW Passat and drove through Skyhomish to Ellensburg, and back to Seattle on Mt Rainier Road just after the roads had opened up, so obviously not as far north as Mt Baker, but it was absolutely stunning. As an Australian, you don't often get to see snow like that. :)
