To answer original poster's question....The E53 SUCK in the snow. You would think an AWD SUV would be good. It's not until the Idrive they became pretty good.

The only thing you can do is put hard core winter tires like Bizzacks and buy separate rims. Then its ok.

It's like a hot chick.....if sex is good you over look things like dinner being made when they are stay at home mothers

If your a girl reading this just reverse the chick to dude

I like the way it looks so I put up with it
