Yup. We have no need for two cars, so X3M Competition combines the practicality of a SUV with sportscar performance. I was originally considering to keep our 2017 X1 and getting a convertible to accompany it for sunny days, but that plan made no sens do to how little we actually drive.

I agree that our roads are overall in good shape although you can find bad patch work anywhere. Vancouver could be slightly worse than the suburbs due to so much construction always messing the smooth paving.

It's a while since I have been driving in those other cities but do remember Montreal highway being in much rougher shape. Our mild winter definitely help us with few cars using studded tires. I just bought new Nokian winter tires and went for the non-studded version like previously. Anywhere else in Canada I would likely go for studded tires due to icy roads.
