I was out in the snow in Ohio yesterday. Roads were not plowed and conditions were poor. The X3 does make you fell very safe in these conditions, but I did stick the SAV in about 15" of snow. I pulled into the deep snow to let another vehicle pass going the oposite direction. When I tried to pull back on the road I realized I was stuck. I had to back-up a couple of times before traction kicked in. It may have been my OEM tires? Previous to the X3 I drove a Ford Explorer and it would pull through anything with no problems. It may have been a combination of OEM tires and ground clearance on the X3.
