I was tracking it on tonka, there was about a 1/2 mile track out there really for studded tires, and i did fairly well out there, with enough power the x5 could push itself out of any overly wide drifts.

Its a good area for the car, your gonna love that x5
I was out there snowmobiling yesterday and there was a guy in a 3.0 with bald tires blazing a trail in Gray's Bay - he got stuck after a couple hundred yards and we had to get a tow strap and a full size truck to pull him out. He had his parents, wife, and two daughters with him, and had no clue what was going on.

I on the other hand had great luck with mine out there. Didn't get stuck at all with the 2-place trailer behind me and the air suspension came in handy in the ruts going on and off the lake as well. Very happy with the X5 right now

Where did you see the track? We saw a very nicely kept ice track on Wayzata Bay but it was made for ice rail racing. It was so nice it looked like a zamboni was out there.

I'll have the M3 out this summer for a lot of different events around the cities - as soon as I get the motor in it I'll be driving the heck out of it again

Hey nom3rcy, Do you have higher resolution copies of #3 and #4? The stars in the sky really set those apart. They came out great !

It was in wayzata bay, probably a half mile off the coast of teh wayzata yacht club, i havent been out there in weeks, but it might even be the same track?

Yup that would be the one. I bet it would be a LOT of fun in an X5

Now I'm really tempted.

Here's a wallpaper of #3 in 1440: 1440x1024

well buy some cheap steelie winter tires, get some good strong screws, preferably ones you dont want back, and drill them into the tire, its an old dirt bike trick
