Past week been snow, i use 20inch vredestein wintrac xtreme s tyres. Non run flat tyres at resonable price.
European made, 3 star rated.

20 inch winter tyres are very expensive and hard to find. But I wanted stay on 20inch rim, already bought new set for summer. (M.performance ones).

Much better than goodyear asymetric that comes with car in snow driving.

X drive does the job but with correct tyres.

This is my first bmw with awd. I alwayes had audi with quattro.

X drive seems try to pull to fast vs compared ro quattro. That trying to put more torq at slower speed.

When temp drops to 5C goodyears start to spin slowly. With winter tyres never experienced it. I have a small hill just down the road... summer tyres are good for temp +5C

When there cold are tend to spin.
