Looking to buy a 4 series
Discussion
No difference from what ive heard re driving. just have to have somewhere to store the normal runs (which I havent got sadly) so i take my chances.
But I was marooned outside my friends house one snowy night in my new at the time 120d auto ,while all manner of cars of the cheap old variety just cruised by. Runflats plus auto plus Rear Wheel Drive = snow disaster

Thanks for the relpy. Hopefully by the end of January I will have missed the worst of the weather. Then hopefully I can buy some during the summer when the prices are down in preparation for November 2015.

The 420i i test drove was only getting 21mpg which was disappointing but I have no idea how that car was being driven.
Why, did you sleep through your test drive? You should always reset the OBC when you start a test drive and take it out properly. See if it suits your driving style.

Lol I live in England. So my worry is for I will be without a car for a few weeks a year.
Not a deal breaker but still disappointing.
With winter tyres is it as if you're diving normally or is if still difficult?
I have been driving BMWs for more than 10 years in south west Scotland and I have never used winter tyres and never been stranded. If I lived a bit further inland and saw more snow I would probably fit them, but if you just get a day or two of real snow per year I would not bother.Not a deal breaker but still disappointing.

At the moment my M135i on Michelin Super Sports seems to have much better traction in very cold wet conditions than my old 316i (with a third of the power) had on Pirelli P6000s in the wet 10 years ago.
