Fun in the Snow before the BIG SNOW FALL, please look guys..
Hope you guys like this video I put together for everyone. We had so much fun and we will def be doing this again soon. I'm sure everyone knows about the big storm here in the Northeast, I'm very excited to test out the capabilities of the xdrive. Last year was nothing compared to whats about to happen. I'm running the conti extreme DWS, they have about 60% tread left and I'm positive they will perform as advertised. GOod Luck to everyone that is facing this storm head on....Take Care and please share my video.

Hey, this seems like the right thread to ask...
Is there a way to see the power delivered to each wheels on the xDrive info screen? I recall seeing it in one of the demos (X5). Does the X3 have something similar? |

Looks like you had an awesome time - would love to have joined you but 3000 miles of ocean in the way - Be safe in the coming snow storm.

Looks like fun:-) you guys running 275 rear tires? Do you have any issues with the x-drive when running staggered in the snow? The reason I am asking is because my dealership recommended not to have a staggered setup in winter.... Thanks for your thoughts!

Where you are located, I would recommend not going staggered unless you put snow tires on that are staggered but usually ppl don't do that anyway. 245 all around or thinner is great for the snow and winter, really good all seasons or dedicated winter...

I'm located in Switzerland. We do get some snow, but the roads are usually plowed. I use dedicated winter tyres from October to April. Currently 245 all around on my 369m cause the dealer recommended that..... However 245 on the rear 9.5 rim is pretty stretched and really does not look great:-( That is why I'd prefer to get 275 in back next year.

If you have 60% of tread on a DWS tire (10/32"), your at the bare minimum recommended tread depth for snow BTW

Oh, my bad. I thought you meant that 10/32 was 60% tread life. I was like, "I got 60% when buying from Tire Rack, I got ripped off!"

Looks like the weather was too warm to have fun... more like driving through slush.

Love my DWS for my 20" stagger setup. But I couldn't waste my 19" 369M wheels so i put on winter tires for winter season. DWS will at least give me good buffer for switch over.

At the end of the day, I was sure glad to be in my F25. The conditions were not good, which made it all the more fun. GJ on the video! You should post ALL of the video you shot.
