I drive my X5 on that beach all the time and it can get worse than that sometimes. You have to hold down the DSC buttom until it totally disconnects, not just push it once.

Also due to lack of ground clearence you have to keep the X moving otherwise it will sit on its belly in the soft beach sand and if you stop, you find some hard ground to stop on.

For your interest, on full & new moon's the surf will come up and splash right up to the edge of the sand dunes along this 50klm stretch of beach.

From the 3rd Cutting on to the beach at Noosa to my beach house is a 14klm run, and I have done it on numerous occassions at full tide and at night, hard up against the dunes, dodging waves, coconuts and driftwood, its a rally all the way
