X5 meets Curb.....Curb wins

[jclarkv]

We just had a big snow storm in central pennsylvania. I was in a parking lot when I lost traction on all four wheels and went sliding (much further than I expected) and was stopped by a low concrete curb. Here are the results:



The wheel is tilted out rather than in because I drove a short distance until the computer shut me down.

On the flatbed truck I was able to get a good photo of what went wrong:



Broken control arms. I'm waiting to hear the repair cost.

I wonder if I had turned DSC off whether I would have had a little more control (or at least some engine power going to the wheels. As it was, I had none).

Thanks for reading,
