X5 4.8is and Snow

Just thought of sharing some videos of having fun with X5. This is X5's second snow encounter. The first one almost crashed in 1" of snow on Michelins. Clips are 20 to 50 sec each

Trying to make it up driveway on compacted frost/snow/ice

Since the road was semi plowed tried to climb my future lawn but at slow speed on an uphill uneven surface 20" wheels just pile up the snow and then try to climb on it(tried turning DSC off, did not help):

Different story when you go just a bit faster:

The Pirelli's are glued to compacted snow/ice covered road:

Just going for a relaxing drive(beats working):

Nice videos. You are brave. I won't try that with 20" wheels and summer performance tires on a steep hill with ice and snow. But I have played with snow tires on and my 4.8is passes everyone on snow covered highway.

You'll have to go around quite a few corners to get from WA to CT.
