Even though BMW foists upon us unfortunate derivative junk like the X4, 3-Series GT and 4-Series Gran Coupe (which, I've only recently just made sense of), at least they give us models like the 2-Series. Which just happened to get better for anyone who lives in the snowbelt.
Later on this summer, xDrive AWD will be available on both the 228i and the M235i, for an extra $1800. As much as the 228i might be the pur sang option, even moreso than the M235i, I would not hesitate to anger forum purists and Build Your Own window shoppers by ordering the xDrive version. Yes, I know that with proper snow tires and a modicum of skill, two wheel drive cars are just fine in the snow – I've driven two Miatas with LSDs and no ABS in dreadful winters, and I've never had a hairy moment. But there are times when I would have appreciated two extra driven wheels, and if I were in the market for this car, I'd have no qualms with forking over the extra $1,800. In my mind, it's a WRX coupe with two fewer doors and a nicer interior.
