I'm not sure how this thing toppled with Adaptive Drive, but just look how solid the body still looks. She's a tank!

Here is what the owner said. Wasn't his fault...

"It was me! The car had 12 days and 920km on the odo. First of all, we have RR supecharged, the x5m and had 2 cayenne turbo and Now the turbo s and I can confirm that the x5m is the best in the show. Obviously all with the smallest winter tyres possible. Later or tomorrow I'll post pictures of the street. Who knows me and my videos knows that I always go fast. In these winter holidays we gas a lot of rain and cold so there were a lot of ice. For this reason and for the engine still New, I didn't go fast up and down the hill. I was going skiing with my girlfriend and we werent fast. She said 40km/h, I think 50. There were 30 meters of ice and at the end a bend. I braked but the CAR started to take speed. I knew that I had to stop breaking, my brain was saying stop breaking, but my leg continued to brake. So I had to decide if crash on other cars or doing it alone. I thought I had only some skretch but this time the snow on the guardrail Made me doing what you see. In 10 sec the BMW emergency Servic. Called me, the police and firemans. When they arrived a policeman falled down on the ice. Cars werent able to stop or to start. They saw everything and then gave all the fault to the dirty street and to the snow on the guard rail. The rime was damaged on a rock under the snow. The day before in the sane bend It happend the sane thing to a Range rover and a month before not far from there it happened to a grand cherokee. That's it. My dealer 10 hours later brought me my old x5 4.8 and it was 30/12 so very kind and for me very confortable because I hadnt to walk..... "
