I still haven't pulled the trigger on an X5 (though I'm close), and I'm wondering how they fare in snow... I'm not expecting Rover-esque abilities, and I don't plan to take my next auto into anything terribly nasty, but we do enjoy the higher, less maintained roads with some weather, and I'd like a good compromise between the man-friend's diesel Excursion and my sad little four-banger Accord.
