First test in the snow...passed with flying colors!
We had our first snow today and got around 4 inches with a nice layer of ice underneath. The X3 handled it beautifully - the traction control came on only a couple of times...this is on a day where there are cars sliding all over and accidents galore! This is as good as any winter driving vehicle I have had!

I have BMW's compressor and flat tire kit....but more realistically, I'm calling BMW assist if i get a flat (replaced the run flats in both 3 series with non-funflats and have never had an issue yet....*knock on wood*).

I would highly recommend it if you live in an area that gets cold/snow. It pretty much lets you get wherever you need to go.
