X3 working hard, or hardly working?

I wonder if anyone else uses their BMWs' for something else than driving in urban areas?

Fetching our boat from the Baltic Sea.

Mine also regularly goes offroad. Like, not even on tracks or anything. Mostly point it up a hill, and climb :-) Thats the welsh highlands here.

We did some "hauling" during summer holidays. The caravan is 1800 kg, so it felt when driving around with that...

This time we got surprised by the winter. It snowed about 3 inches and the weather was in minus celsius, but of course sea was still above freezing point.
