Let us know how your X5 with the winter setup does in this mess. It should be lots of fun to go bombing around the snowy roads in that.

Mods coming soon...Still need to figure it out.
I am on my second snifter of Gran Marnier....Luckily my baby is nice and dry in the garage. She won't see the light of day until the snow is all gone and there is no salt left on the roads.

I have to drive from Manhattan to Staten Island tomorrow morning. Hopefully my 550 with the Dunlops WinterSports will behave. My 540 with them was not confidence inspiring but it was passable and driveable (with caution) for a high power RWD car.
