Well, its quite amazing how much snow we are getting (still falling as I type) and I have gone to church this morning only to find out that all churches here are closed (first time ever in my life) and I'm pretty sure that the schools will be close tomorrow as well. So my point is, this is pretty much as bad as it gets in terms of snow. (I am in the Waterloo region, not too far from the GTA which is in the linked article) No joke, I just saw two people skiing to get around.
The X5? man it is so solid you barely get any under or over steering on bends and I I can make it through the thick stuff NO PROBLEM. I have to turn the DSC off completely to get through the parking lot (where its not plowed) and getting through the foot and a half of snow is a breeze!
Love my X5. This is the best vehicle to be driving in the winter. Other cars cannot even dare to go where I go. I have the BMW certified Winter Tires Package on mine (18 Grandtrek Dunlops, they are awesome).
I would buy this car again just for how capable it is on winter roads.
