Snow + xDrive = awesome
These were from a few weeks back when we had some significant snow... Love going out for a drive when it snows to take advantage of xDrive and my winter tires.
I have a square set up of Pirelli Sottozero's 245/45/18 on Rial Salernon 18x8 from Tirerack.com Click on the first one... its a vid. No traction issues [IMG][/IMG] After a late night drive... [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG]

do you turn of DSC or traction control in the snow? which mode, sport comfort, etc do you leave the car in while in the snow.
I know my x5 seems to do way better when I turn traction control off in the snow. |

Don't you guys mean switch on the DTC (quick press of the button) to get Dynamic Traction Control helping you, as it gives a bit more slip, to allow easier movement.
DTC is off by default. HighlandPete |
