Anyone gone "offroad" in their X3?

Taking mine into the "woods" for the first time this weekend. Nothing too serious at all, just a few miles of rutted dirt/gravel roads and some low, slick spots that are perpetually wet.

I did not like the blind spots in the X6 I drove. Otherwise, it was pretty similar to the X5 from what I could gather.

I much prefer the all around view afforded by the X5, FWIW.

Good luck,
