Drove to Tahoe with Diamaris on 20" wheels. Worst mistake ever. I grew up in Chicago so have many years experience driving in snow, so thought I could pull it off. Long story short, you won't be able to turn, stop or even remain stationary on a hill. Don't even think about driving with Diamaris in snow.

so tell me do you drive your x5 in snow, and on roads that have salt on them??

sorry for the dumb questions, but for someone like me who live in an area that when its cold we take the boardies off and put on jeans, where jackets are a novelty, its hard to imagine the type of conditions you are talking about.

i thought you would have an old clunker for the winter months???

do you think some of the problems you experience with you X5 are due to the climate they are operated in???

Thanks
