BMW is the better car all around but the Xdrive isn't the same as Awd, the car is mainly in rwd and the xdrive monitors the wheels and adjusts power when it feels slippage. I'm not 100% on this but that's how it was explained to me when I bought mine.

Btw I had one BMW without xdrive and one with. Both had winter tires and you could definitely tell the difference in deep snow. Xdrive with snow tires was a beast, never got stuck and only slid if I forced it.

Why does it seem like the 3 and 5 series don't offer the same technology packages as the INFINITI? Also, is there a 3 series with a v6?

Yes the 340 is a turbocharged 6 cylinder now but despite my qualms with Infiniti in recent years the Q50 is a better overall buy and has always had the better AWD system.

It seem to me like I'm paying more for a BMW to get the same features I'd get on an INFINITI. So I'm leaning INFINITI but I haven't made a final decision. like with the q50, a V6 300+ hp, AWD and technology package is basically the standard. To get the same out of a BMW I have to pay more and I've driven both and the BMW is nice but it doesn't feel "more luxurious" than an INFINITI despite the reputation.

I'm not sayin the BMWs ain't nice they are :whoa:

My only problem with the q50 is it feels and IS small. Like real small. Like two door small.

I was lookin to get one and despite me liking the test drive it legit felt like a coupe
You must be tall because my cousin has one and it doesn't feel small at all. It doesn't feel big but just like what it is a 3 series sized car
