X3 in Snow

[MysticBlueX3]

Just got back from a weekend in Big Bear Mtn. and I must say the X handled beautifully in the snow. No snow tires either. Just my summer performance tire Dunlop SP Sport 01. Not once did the 4X4 light blink. At one point, there were about 20 cars lined up on the side of the road putting on chains in 25F and snowing. I drove by with a big on my face knowing I didn't have to get out of the car.

yup, the X is pretty impressive. I handled to get through a snowstorm couple weeks ago in canada here. Not once did the light blink either. Other than this, the X is very useful for parking here. The parking lot here is usually full and I can usually just drive onto those parking space that covered by little snow hill. Of course, not only X3 can do it, all other SUV do it but I am still happy with that.

Im also really happy with the X3 in the snow i put on a set of Dunlop SP WINTER M3 tires and this truck is unstopable. the traction light kicks in only when i make a fast turn snow or else wow its great

What does it mean when the 4x4 light blinks or stays on? I had mine in 10+ inches of snow this past weekend. It did well but not as well as other SUV's I have owned. I feel that if the tires were a bit more aggressive or just winter tires that it would be great. But then I would'nt have the traction that I do now driving down the Autobahn.
