I thinking of making the switch from an E70 X5 to a 2012 X6. How does the X6 perform in the snow? I will be putting snow tires on as well. Too bad my X5 rims and tires won't fit since I already have them. I do a lot of driving in snowing conditions and like to get outdoors. The X5 fit the bill. Right now I am just struggling with losing precious cargo space coming from the X5. I looked at the Cayenne as well and love the pepper, but the nearest dealer is 100 KMS away (not really same class I know) and reliability is important. I have had a host of issues with my X5 from new, but my BMW dealer is 4 minutes away. Just need a change of vehicle and can't wait for the 2014 X5 re-design.
