It seems to me that the X5 and X6 are identical in virtually every way other than the exterior sheet metal (and, of course, the resulting decrease in interior space). Therefore, I don't see how the X6 would perform any differently than the X5 in the snow or otherwise.
The X6 is certainly a bit smaller on the interior. If you like the X5's room, stick with it. If you're curious about whether the X6 would work for you, go to your dealer and ask if you can test drive an X6 for a couple of days. If they won't let you, pack up your X5 as you normally would for an "outing," drive to the dealer, and then ask for a test drive in an X6 with all your kit loaded up in it. That should give you the best idea of "space" you're bound to get short of owning the thing. |

I had a 2010 X6M for a couple hours yesterday, but it wasn't long enough. Good suggestion I will call the dealer this week. THX.

i think your wheels will fit the x6. The only thing you will need is buy two shims that cost next to nothing as the rear hub centric on the x6 is 72.xmm.

X6 snow performance is identical to X5 snow performance. As always, its all about the tires. It seems you already know this so you should be all good.

The X6 drive-train is slightly different in that the rear diff has the electronic torque control and hardware not fitted to the E70 (other than the X5M) so the handling is different to the E70. I found no issues in snow up to 6" deep with Winter Tyres fitted (on 19" rims) at the beginning of this year.
