get a 2wd car and drive the truck for snowstorms.
no business type is gonna fault you for driving a taco on 33s (not that big of a tire honestly) if theres snow on the ground

My jeep when it was stock and on the pirelli ice and snows was like a fucking snowmobile.
I own a 335i coupe too, mpg isn’t all that great on it either. Mines not an xi either, I cant imagine them getting better mpg

There is a damn good reason for that.
It’s about the perfect combination of maturity, status and fun to drive.

Giving you a heads up, most cars values drop like crazy with high mileage. Buy a 6k tdi or honda civic not a 30k dollar car then.
