My ZHP is soon to be paid off, I was thinking of replacing my DD/beater car with either an x3 or an older x5. However, if they all act as the x6 did in this text, I'll seek other options...

Or was the only issue here the fully-inflated summer tires?

My e70 with the all season bridgestones on it in around a foot of snow had no issues at all. I was actually suprised how well it handled. That was with DTC enabled and DSC on. Without enabling the DTC I had some slipping.

I did also have an S54 and 6spd trans in the back which may have helped traction a little
