Yes it can. But iv never brought my x5 to the snow and I just bought new nitto terra grappler g2 right before my alternator went out. I was excited to go in the x5.

I've gotten stuck in slush and ice in the sti before due to ground clearance.

And I wanted to get nice pictures of the x5.

But also I don't Wana make a trip in either car till I get the x5 up ND back on the roads

Excuses excuses. I never got my A4 or 90 stuck in the snow (or E30 for that matter). Get up there before it's all gone.

Haha damn, Ya your right I do need to get up there.

Also the sti did get stuck on a back dirt road I normally travel in summer. Well it wasn't closed yet by the county or state for winter so I went ahead up the road. It got alot worse haha
Stuck over three hours in dark in middle of nowhere with no cell service haha and nowhere close to a road where I could walk to where people might pass by.

So I guess you could say it was my fault.
My girlfriend was all scared and pissed! !

We'll girlfriend sat in car with the dog worried hahaha
While my cousin and I started scrapping ice from behind the tires with our hands.
The we happened to find some dirt and Twiggs by a tree so we got those and a towel from my trunk and put them behind and in front of tires. Managed to get car halfway turned around.
Then I dug a little canal or pathway for the tire to fall into and it worked got out and took about another hour or 2 to get home.

But yes very good experience. Sucked in the moment but looking back now it was funny
