Cars typically designed for very cold weather had tall narrow tires, and names like Volvo and SAAB (before they were each bought out).

The X5 has no other issues or problems that haven't occourred with pretty much EVERY other car I ever had through the winter.
The CVV thing though, that sucks. Clean or replace that sumbitch.
Other than that, clean your door jams, silicone the seals and locks (or anti-freeze) and get proper tires not on 19 or 20 inch rims. Enjoy the ride.
The on snow and ice performance is above most everything else.
