Provided with the same amount of traction from the tires and road conditions.  4WD/AWD would help not only to keep your car moving, but it will help putting power from the engine to the road where it needs, so that your car will also turns better at turns.  Afterall, you now have 4 tires vs 2 to control where the engine powers go.  So, it's not wise to dismiss the additional traction control provided by AWD or 4WD.

I don't try to be an expert, but with 4 years of 4x4 off road expereince, and owing 5 modern AWD for the last 10 years.  I do know enough about 4WD/AWD/4x4

Point is moot...

The contenders mentioned, BMW, Audi, Merc, VW, even the Buick, all have TCS and  ...

Good for you.  I did test drive a 328xi back in 2008.  The automatically transmission seems abit slow when get the car to go from stop to move.  It's like there is a delay of .5s before it responses to the gas pedal, but once it started moving, you can tell it's good.

But then driving in Vancouver is far too diff. than where I live now (Seattle).  So, I am sure both cars will serve you very well.

Calm down my friend.  I was trying to reply BiscottiGelato, since he mentions AWD is no use for cornering & braking , but car moving only.

To be honest, not AWD are design the same.  But I pick good snow tires on RWD over average AWD + average OEM all season tires.

I think your statement on the following are true anymore

Japanese car = 5000km
European car = 8000km
BMW = (16000km) guess u had a typo

(Sorry about the mix of km and miles)

Some Japanese made like Acura doesn't go by the 5000km interval, it uses the computer to analyze the driving style and speed for oid change interval instead, which in our case is around 10,000km average

Some euro car allow 20,000 miles or 2 years interval, which I think should at least be done in 10,000 miles or 1 year.

By previously owned Jeep and Subaru were both using synthetic Amsoil and long interval filter.  I kept my Subaru with the recommended interval of 7500 miles because it's a turbo car + modifed and was driven pretty hard.  But then, my Jeep was recommend for oil change every 5000km and I was doing approx 15,000km, and the car was sold at around 90,000km.  A leak down/compresssion test were done before it was sold, and the engine condition is like new.

So, my conclusion:  As long as you go with high quality engine oil and filter, your car would be safe by following the oil change guideline provided by the car manufacturers including BMW.
