Drove in ~5 inches of snow this morning. Incredible with the winter package that I got from tire rack (17" with Dunlop Grand trek). In all kinds of unplowed roads, up and down hills, cornering, stopping etc. the ABS only activated a very few times. It drives almost as if there is no snow whatsoever on the ground - incredible!!!.
Compared with other 4x4's that I have owned or driven - pathfinder, cherokee, blazer - the X5 blows them away.
Of course I have to still worry about all the other a-holes on the road running in to me.

(I do miss the look of my summers - 132's with diamaris)
