My trip to the Deepcreek & X5 in snow (archive)

Hi all,

Just to summarize,...IT WAS AWESOME. Never did once I feel
that I was slipping or sliding in my X5...actually to be honest it was boring. Though I was driving conservatively, the X5 felt like it was on the road and well in control all the time...very very normal.

The place where we stayed was somewhere in the moutains (off from the GPS) and a shaby road led to it with lots of snow and muddy roads...The x5 handled very well and I even managed to sneak it on a big piece of land with lots of snow (about 6 inches I would think) and it just went on and on and didn't get stuck.

To make a comparision, my friends Jetta with M+S tires had to be pushed to get it out of the drive way twice...X5 no problem at all.

Anyways:

Total miles one way: 190 miles
Mileage/gallon : 21.6 miles (not bad considering I have hit only 2300 miles)

I think the tires are awesome..no need to worry if you drive the X5 3.0 (non sport)

Regards,

Mickey
