I posted the following in the other forum.


I mentioned on here before that our CPO 2011 Premium replaced our old faithful and trusty 2004 Land Cruiser that was a beast in bad weather. While the X5 and the Land Cruiser are meant to be different vehicles, we still were hoping for decent handling in the snow (otherwise would have bought a different kind of vehicle).

Well got a chance to test it out the other night. Halfway into our trip back last night from Chicago to southeast Michigan we drove right into that winter storm that has made it's way through the nation.

I of course have a healthy respect for winter driving and wasn't driving like an idiot as some of my other 4wd counterparts were (many of which I drove by as they were in a ditch).

The X5 was stable and surefooted through the snow-packed/icy roads through lower Michigan.

I was pretty pleased. It never felt "greasy" or squirrelly.
