Can I just say I have not found the X5 to be that great in the snow and we get nothing like what is in the pictures above.
Mind you this is having the normal tyres on
the big 4x4 motors with the auto trans ain't great on snow / ice covered roads.
how embarrassing is it when you are slowing down to make your turn in to the drive put your foot on the brakes and you just keep on sliding.
