Sup Guys,
It's been a while since I have been on the forum, just not much time to spend online anymore. Anyway, I am still alive and kicking, and better yet, still driving a Bimmer. Even better, the lease on my 2011 just came to an end last week and I found myself in a new 2013 F30 335i xDrive 6MT . I know I know, some who know me will say I sold out (die hard RWD fan here), but honestly I got such a great deal on this car, I could not pass it up, so I decided to finally give the xDrive a chance to win me over . At least I am still driving an MT, so not a total sellout .
Delivered with 12km, now has around 180km. So far, I am loving it. Still breaking it in, so I am taking it easy.
Anyway, here are the specs for the car (summary in my sig). Pics to come soon.

Glad to see you're back on-line. I had wondered where you had gotten off to...
Your new ride sounds sweet. I hope you enjoy it. As long as you like it, that's all that matters.
I just placed a pre-order for a 2014 M235i with my local dealer, so I've entered the exciting "long wait" phase.

Ah the dreaded wait, not easy! I had to wait 10 days for it to be shipped and that felt long. Worth it in the end though.

Nice MSport. What are your thoughts on the active steering?
Thanks. So far I like it, but I have not driven aggressively at all. The F30 steering is much looser than the e90 anyway, but I am noticing the difference less and less each day. Maybe I am getting used to it! VSS is also nice for u-turns and parking maneuvers, less effort needed.

Well. I hope you're correct.
Its always a bummer having to wait, but I currently have a 2007 Z4 3.0si Coupe that it's going to replace, so it's not like I'm walking until I get it.
I really love the Z4, but it is quite literally a pain in the lower back for me to enter/exit (especially since I have a bum lower spinal issue).
I'll feel much better once I have an official order secured with a projected delivery date...
How do you feel about the xDrive?
Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by hundreds of engineers that get paid thousands of dollars for something you bought at Pep Boys because your buddy who doesn't have a job told you it was 'better'?!?
Congratulations I love my F30 335 X drive almost as much as my beloved Baur

I really appreciated it today. With the snow tires on, I was able to get out of my garage/driveway very easily even with 8" of fresh wet snow. Didn't even see traction control kick in I believe!
See the snow here: http://flickr.com/gp/12479064@N02/53su06/
I have not had a chance to push it yet, probably won't be able to until spring, so will have to defer judgement on the fun factor till then. It did feel noticeably different when I took one out for a spirited test drive.
One thing I miss though, the fun factor in the snow is mostly gone, can't get the tail out as in RWD. However in an icy parking lot, it was pretty fun :-).

Finally got a chance to wash it for the 1st time after putting the winters, just in time for the snow fall .
Here are some pics:
