its not a typical off-roader no.
thats why BMW calls it sn SAV (Sports ACTIVITY Vehicle). if you want an SUV that will climb rocks, drive through streams, destroy snowbanks, then buy a jeep grand cherokee or a raised pick-up. the X5 is a pretty city vehicle with performance for handling/braking and not rock climbing. it has a great all wheel drive system, but the Jeep Grand Cherokee is better. I've had both and hate to say it but the Jeep wins 10 fold over a BMW

Just drove my 4.8is to the store and back in mild snow conditions on DWS's and came back to start looking at snow tire/wheel packages. I wouldn't stray to far off of pavement with it in its current form.

The X5 has neither the ground clearance, suspension articulation, underbody protection, nor traction aids to be a "true" off-road vehicle. Doesn't even have a centre diff lock. Lift one wheel off the ground, and apart from the input of traction control, will sit there spinning that one wheel and not go anywhere.

Get yourself a Trail rated SUV if you plan on going off road. The only off road the X is rated for is unpaved parking lot at the Soccer field.

I guess it's not for me than although I read some previous posts saying the X 5 is way better than a grand cherokee and now I just do not know what to think and do.
