I did another bit of snowplowing with the car and it did perform very well. Seem like it work better at moderate speed compare to fwd cars I use to deal with which you have to maintain alot of speed. Anyway I guess you can't get away without shoveling after a 40cm snowfall and after your car been packed with snow on both side.( I have to park on the street) I guess that even an X5 would get stuck in theses conditions.

You can certainly "get by" with AS tires, but when you're averaging 30,000-35,000 miles/year and the commute is typically 45 miles each way on highways at speeds > 65mph, all seasons aren't going to cut it when the surface is completely snow/sleet/ice. Option #3 is great advice, until the random child runs into the street in front of you. Good luck not doing anything quickly. |

But you will note BMW is one of the few makers who actually give you guidance about driving the car below 100 and then above 100 mph. The bad part about going over 100 is there's rarely an open enough roadway to do it for any distance. But putting it on cruise at 90 is possible on some of the interstates until traffic builds and slows down the overall speed. Gas mileage on sufferers a couple of MPG.

oh 90 KPH.. LOL im like who the hell goes 90 on snow covered roads !!!! As good as traction and ability to not get stuck is good, but dont forget nothing is going to stop your car into plowing into another car God forbid
I love the security of not worrying about getting stuck, but no car matters in terms of sliding out of control if slick out

It's retarded because when I drive down to the states, my speedometer only shows KPH, and I have to rely on a piece of paper telling me 30mph=50kph and 70mph=110km/hr. Then they have 50mph and 15mph, not to mention I look at the limit and it says 30, and I think it's 30kph and have to tell myself, "You're in 'merica, metric don't exist here."

Come on, be nice to America. They've got to defend both themselves and us too. The lives of American boyscouts are on the line if the Netherlands gets all uppity and decides to bomb the hockey puck factory. |

Hey, we're protecting up north from the russians so, if anything it's a even relationship we have. |

If the Russians would just put down those nukes and drop that huge army they have, throw on the skates and meet at Dave's place (he has his own rink) for a game, we'd kick their a$$. FYI the Jr Team and Toronto Maple Leafs have swapped places. Toronto fans, sitting in the nosebleed section for $900 a seat, forgot what a winning team looks like so something had to be done. |
