good to hear, i was worried about how it would be. i used to have a dodge 2500 that was good in the snow but didnt compare to my current 2013 SHO with blizzaks. the SHO is a beast and im hoping the raptor is comparable which with everyones reviews it seems it should be good.

Welcome to the shadow black club, brother! I also came from a 3-series, 5-series, to now a Raptor. Absolutely love mine as well so far. The size was something to get use and I'm getting better at parking this beast and rely heavily on both front and rear cameras. Wish it had Park Assist though! Congratulations!

I love the navigation and audio navigation on my 2015 3 series. The knob on the center console allows you to navigate both with primarily muscle memory. With the Raptor everything is touch so you have to physically look at the screen and take your eyes off the road.

It'll take some getting used to but I realize this is an off-road truck and sacrifices will have to be made.

I have the upgraded sound system on the BMW and the Sony system in the 802a is comparable. I had to turn down the bass and max out the treble to give it a crisp sound.

100% on iDrive comparison. I absolutely loved that technology in my 2014 535d. BMW technology seems worlds ahead in that regard and I loved the fact the technology was very driver centric and not so distracting like Ford's Sync technology. I wish I could've kept my 2014 535 for a change of pace but it had to go so I can get this beast of a truck!
