UPDATED!!! More X5 pictures in snow

Hey gang thought youd like these pics. i took them today after the storm stopped. we got about 20 inches where i live. I found an unplowed park and went joy riding. I had the air suspension up and it ran flawless not one hesitation. I even stopped and tried to get stuck. when taking these pics i stopped in a low area. only about a foot or so of snow. because i only had sneakers on i didnt want to get out in the deeper stuff. i wasnt planning on walking in snow when i left my house. then i figured i had to take some pics for you guys. But it was mostly about 18 to 20 inches i went through a couple of snow drifts that were about 30 to 36 inches. When it got real deep the snow started coming over the hood onto the windshield i could see anything. I was riding around for an hour or so. I was really suprised i went through that amount of snow with no problem. I kinda got stuck for a second when i went down a dead end path and it ended in a tall snow drift so i had to back out. And i just cut the wheel nailed the gas and pulled a 180. Lots of fun. the scorpion ice and snows obviously helped. Last year i got stuck in 1 inch of snow with my 20 inch continentals. very imbarassing. Anyway i got more pics i will download those tomorrow. By the way i wish i had someone video taping this you definatley would have like the 3 ft snow drifts. I actually stopped in one area think it was that deep and i opened my door and the snow was higher than the bottam of my door. The top photo is when i first pulled in notice it notice and clean. it didnt look like that after. i had about 6 inched of snow on my hood and windshield that i had to stop and take aff because i couldnt see anything.

Oh yea by the way after about an hour of this. My self level susp inactive warning came on and then my abs and brake liht came on in the dash. None of that stuff is working now. Hopefully it will tomorrow morning. if not i will have to take it in. Also allthough Xdrive is very very good. I would have liked to have limited slip differentials instead of the Xs open diffs. It makes a big difference. My wifes audi has it and it is definately better in the snow than the X5.
