Encouraged by a slightly nose - heavy weight distribution, not - so - well - educated electronics, and a playful variable - rate
diff lock, this BMW is notorious for its loose
rear end even when fitted with
optional nineteen - inch wheels and tires.

But the other note of caution is that, although all models get Terrain Response, the more sophisticated Terrain Response 2 is
optional across the range for $ 430, as is a full - size spare wheel (which adds $ 1020 and reduces luggage space to a still reasonable 558 litres), and an active locking
rear diff is only available in V6 models ($ 1100).
