I agree with Snypa, I had a Saab for a few weeks in the snow...was !Removed!.

The 46 never gave me a problem, showed some astras and corsas up on a steep hill one night, they were struggling, I just drove straight past tongue.gif

I drove my car in the snow last year and it was terrible - but that's not to say I didn't enjoy it! As my fellow Lutonian said, it isn't what you drive it's how you drive it.

My traction control doesn't work, so it's stuck off but it didn't feel too twitchy - it felt the same as a FWD car on ice anyway.

Ice is slippery - fact.

Got my car's snow boots to help me too! Nice and skinny BMW Bottle Top wheels!

driven 320s, 323s and a 520 in the snow, deffinatley an interesting experience, although not as much of a brown trouser moment as spinning the 520 360 degrees in the wet. Looking forward to giving the X a spin in the white stuff if we havent parted company before it arrives. Anyone used winter tyres, if so is there a great improvement as I live on the top of a big hill/ side road which dosent get gritted.

I've found the "Easter Egg" on my 7 that allows "Half-on" traction control that only applies brakes and does not restrict the engine at all !!!!

So, looking forward to the snow... Fingers crossed :P

Knew it existed, but while at Sandal BMW, I only dealt with the 5 series!

Spun my 520i 360+ in the wet going around a roundabout @ 4am. Nearly killed myself. I wanted to go ahead but the ass had different plans...

      3.0i starter motor

      I stand corrected…. It wasn’t the starter. I could hear it clicking so checked the battery, amps were about 10… new battery and fired straight up…. So much for Halfords and yuasa battery testing! ….now to the next issue…

      X3 2.0 automatic

      hi , I had very similar problem a while back, and after a lot of testing with vista, it turned out to be a front R/H wheel , speed/wheel sensor. when it all was happing lots of codes were coming up gearbox, diff front and back, transever box,plus many more, didn't look good, but there was one code that repeatedly came up at the top of the list, at this point it was becoming undriveable ,it just didn't seem that a wheel sensor could cause all these codes. So I went got two wheel speed sensor, replaced driver side front, the problem never came back, the sensor controls so many systems ,cleared all codes, happy days, I could have pulled the car apart for nothing, and got nowhere, except an empty wallet. hope this helps you or someone.
