I loved it in the rain. I took a pic from behind the wheel one time when I was driving in a tropical storm.

I used to actually think that some of these people with lesser equipment are putting themselves in jeopardy by driving in the mess. I was always confident the X5 could handle.

My current car suffers from wheel hop. I hit the gas in the rain, and it gets sideways in a hurry. No such problem in the X.
