+1 to all these comments. I don't even have an X6 nor am I planning to get one (although I was one of the first to order one, later cancelled) but I am still hooked on this forum.

May 2009 be a darn sight better than 2008 turned out! Although I suppose for all those who are driving spiffy new X6s, it didn't turn out too badly. Peace and happiness to all.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, I am still waiting for my X6 to arrive and I am very sad to because it couldn't arrive for the holidays but what to do. I am crousing through the streets with my Range Rover still.

Don't drink and drive first drink then drive:P ahahah byby

CONGRATULATIONS Deda - that is even better than the shiney new X6 (a baby will last much longer but will cause just as many frustrations and cost a LOT more too....)! It will be worth it all though...!

Warmest regards and a Happy New Year to all my forum friends - I hope that 2009 brings you all peace and happiness.

Cheers, Anteater

Happy Holidays to all!
Been busy dealing with an unusually snowy December. Lots of shovelling.
x6 is fantastic, i don't even need snow tires in & around the city, with main streets plowwed.

I am curious how does it handle is snow, on streets not plowed ?

With the DTC switch engaged on the dash which allows for some tire slip, the x6 keeps moving without any problem even in unplowwed sidestreeets w/8'' of snow. Only 2 problems; 1) Ice - when the bottom layers of snow gets packed into ice over time & by other traffic, 4 seasons which is what i've, is not enuf, so i did get stuck a couple of times, maybe blizzaks or yokohama snow tires would be neccessary. We haven't had this kind of winter on the westcoast for 35+ yrs. I brought a shovel so as soon as one wheel is clear, i was ready to go again
2)ground clearance:
Would have been nice if there was height adjustment 2 raise the car higher so the bottom is not scrapping the snow in between the tire tracks.
The lower black portion of my front bumper, on the passenger side snapped out of place a bit on a snow bank,
BMW should make a winter bumper attachment for people in the heavy snowbelt, to protect the plastic/carbon fiber?/polycarbonate? front bumper.
Otherwise, x6 is unstoppable!

I talked with some friends that live in the Seattle area which is west coast of US and they said same thing about the storm , worst they've seen in 30 years.

I agree a height adjustment would be nice for folks that live in area that has snow regularly , can't get away from the center "bump".

Thanks for the info.
