This discussion is relative to what you experience is driving in snow or with snow tires. If you were used to driving on on worn a/s or summer tires then upgraded to an X5 with new A/S tires, you may think it's great in the snow.
I thought the A/S Pirelli's that came on my 35d were terrible and swapped to Pirelli winters after the first storm, now it's a beast.
I always run snow tires and justify the cost as the deductible from one accident. I also like the security of knowing I can go out in bad weather safely.
It's also more fun drifting your car in the snow with winter tires as you can recover when things get a little TOO sideways...
