Lets see... how did I get here?
1. Last month, my 9 year old truck (THAT I LOVE) left me on the side of the road for 2.5 hours in 12 degree weather. Fuel pump went out on my commute to work - so no heat.
2. Then as you can see by the pict below, my Z is unwilling to move with ANY snow on the ground. Lets be honest, it doesn't like wet pavement. I got it stuck, and had to get it unstuck myself!

3. Then I ran over a deer with my Z that has 3 inches of ground clearance and it left meat and blood all over it, and who knows what kind of damage. You can see Ollie enjoying it as some came off in the snow. The night I did it, he was so afraid to get near my car. He was shaking and barking and running around it.
So, what I have isn't working. I've had enough. It's only me, and I need to get to and from work, even with this freakish weather. I've learned how to drive well in the snow, but as far out as I am - I need AWD, and while my truck is great. It's no longer dependable enough with no real help if something goes wrong.
Why a BMW you ask?
Well, I wanted a Ford Explorer, but once Roger found out he could get a BMW for the same price as a Ford, he forbid me from the Ford lot. Plus its diesel, so it gets 40% better gas mileage.
... Now it gets to get all salty and dirty and attempt to dodge deer.

Its pretty!
It is pretty...why no pics of the Acura. This post makes you sound all sound and pathetic....let's show the OTHER brand new car too!!! hahahaha
That should read "sad and pathetic" not "sound and pathetic".
C'mon, the other "new" car is more than 13 months old, and is mine, not hers. It replaced that 9 year old truck as my main set of wheels. Her new one replaced her 6 year old car that is lousy in snow.
