Me being in South Florida, there really is no need for AWD and I have no experience with them. The bit about having to change all tires depending on thread depth if one has a damage is concerning. Although, to help mitigate those costs one could just buy the BMW Wheel & Tire add-on.
Yup that's exactly it. There are times where I need to take the SUV out, leaving my wife at home with the 3 series. And if there's any sort of emergency (i.e. take our crazy daughter to urgent care cause she decided to jump head first into a corner), she wouldn't be able to take a manual car out.
