It's because I'll rate anything with snow tires over A/S based on how they perform when you need to stop.

I got caught out in last October's storm in my 335xi. I ran the gamut from rain ->...

As noted, the light is only on if there is enough weight in the seat to trip the low limit on the pressure sensor, but not the high.

It's far less annoying that way, unlike my wife's car that...

Now, mind you, you have gone from "mounds" to "several", which seems to then become "3, sorta". And, as you noted, none of them are doing a "same tires / AWD vs. (other)".

You know, it's surprising how little true same/same data there is.

If it's a non-iDrive car and you're using the dash display, "MAX" is 7 quarts and "MIN" is 6. If you're at or below the "MIN", you should put in a quart. Between "MIN" and "MAX" is fine.

Well, it doesn't look like a bad deal. Getting into a car more than a few years old makes prices somewhat subjective. I'd want to get a pre-purchase inspection on it if I were thinking of buying it.
