Sold a 2003 X5 3.0 in October 2007. Traded it on a 535i, not an x model. Bought 4 Dunlop Wintersport M3 tires on OEM 17" wheels, as the sport package tires and wheels are not suitable for winter. Had no trouble even in heavy snow through January and February.

We did trade my wife's 325xi for an X3 at the same time, so I have access to an AWD, but the car has done fine. The X3 is for utility, carrying bikes/etc.

I originally wanted a 535 Touring, but my wife didn't like the look of it. As it turned out, I am very happy with the sedan. I still think Tourings are cool.
