residual as far as a lease goes?

I had one of these in front of me this morning on the drive to work. We had a bit of snow on the ground up where I was. He was good till we came to a stop at a red light in town, which is on a fairly steep grade. I ended up pulling around him lol

I wonder why he had issues. The M550i is also all wheel drive.

Yeah I'm not sure either. That's a simple fix though.

no air suspension on the 5 series as far as i know. I find the adaptive suspenion on my S5 more comfortable than the air suspension on my mercedes cls550 and the s5 can drive circles around the big benz.
