To be fair, I was educated on this forum with respect to X-Drive / winter tyres.
I had an X3 prior to my last 3 series x-drive, but as the X3 was on all seasons, as opposed to summers on the 3 (and 19” as well), I learnt that tyres were the most important factor, so invested in winter wheels for the 3, and it made a massive difference.
To be fair, the all season pirelli scorpions on the X3 handled great, and were unflappable even in the deep snow we had in 2010 for many weeks.
As I said in an earlier post, wouldn’t dream of 340 horses, RWD and summers on the M140 in winter!!
