umm, I didn't get the AWD G to climb the Adirondacks. Just like the rest of the crowd I safely park my car at the parking lot, take my equipment of choice out of my car and proceed with the fun....
Actually, you'd be a fool to take a stock X anywhere with big dips, boulders, unpaved roads and etc....the underbelly is plastic

Sweet set-up: love the wheels, rack and the c/o drop (not too low).

Nice setup, looks much better than I thought it would with a rack on top.

Wil these coilovers fit the 2010? I email vendors and they ignore me, so I guess not.

I don't want to answer for him but i'd say reliability and cost of ownership is a reason to switch to the G. My father in law is about to switch his BMW because of high repair costs.

Still have a warrantied 535i that limped on me AFTER getting it serviced for the recall. Thing is being sold as soon as the warranty's over.
