Thanks! I really enjoy this car in the winter. Quite satisfied with how it performs, entertaining. Sadly it is not to much snow in Oslo either. This picture was taken at the cabin in the mountains. Hope you can have some snow sometime soon

Awesome pics!

rapid64k · 12-26-2016, 04:47 PM

Nice shots.

Are you just trying to upset me? I was due to,go on a four day break to,Copenhagen before Xmas but the flight was cancelled! Eventually ended up in Stockholm, ironically by flying with Norwegian Air!

Stockholm was nice though

TodmordenLad · 12-29-2016, 10:29 AM

Fantastic pics - now THAT is what I call snow!

dombi · 12-29-2016, 12:50 PM

Beautiful pictures. Thanks for sharing.

Are you running a square wheel/tire setup? Are those 225s in the back?
How is the xDrive performing in that much snow?

My current car is the first one with xDrive.
Cannot wait to try it in snow.

So I would love to hear a bit about your experience.

In New Hampshire that's what we call Tuesday.

Expecting ten inches today, but that's in the foothills where I live. Eighteen to twenty four inches in the mountains.
My GT handles six inches of unplowed snow as if it wasn't there, even with AS tires. More than that is God's way of telling you to take the day off and stay home. I never argue with God.

Stockholm was nice though

Ha ha

One really appreciate snow when driving a BMW! Sorry about the Copenhagen trip, Stockholm is also really nice though. I live in Oslo, neither of the capitals in Scandinavia is snowy. These pictures where taken at my cabin approximately 2 hours drive from Oslo. Hope you enjoyed Stockholm!

Hi. The winter tires are 225/50/18 all around. In the summer I am running the original 19" M Sport wheels. Regarding the X-DRIVE in snow, I must say it works really well. I used to drive in snow like this with my rwd F31, but I had to keep going. If not I would get stuck. This one with X-DRIVE ( my first as well), more ground clearance and proper winter tires is working really well. It could easily be more snow than this. When driving a bit of snow I put the driving mode to sport+ or switch of the assistance completely to allow a bit of wheel spin. The snow can be deep, and that is no problem. It is essentially that the snow is relatively light, not packed. I one drove into hard/packed snow and ended with 4 wheels in the air

. X-DRIVE won't help you then

I think BMW reposted one of your above photos on their instagram. We had a bit of snow in the UK two weeks ago and went outside late in the evening to try x-Drive on snow for the first time. It was fun!

Hi. Yes the GT with X-DRIVE perform superb in snow with winter tires. The increased ground clearance also helps compared to my F31. Yes, a repost happened a couple of weeks ago
