We finally had our first snow storm of the season, and it was epic! We had about 20" of snow in my **** in New Jersey. Figured it was a good time to test out the Winter snow tires. My streets weren't plowed, and my X5M made it through 8+" of unplowed snow without a problem. I met up with my buddy, Mike Mik3ymomo, and he took some awesome photos!

Sweet!

Sweet Shots! I went out yesterday during the storm and ZERO ISSUES IN THE SNOW! I loved it, super solid. Winter tires are a must!
Nice job Steve. Enjoy!

Nice pics. What Pirellis are you running? I am running Scorpion Winters on my Cayenne Turbo S and Sottozeros on my Z07. Didn't take the Vette out. Snow was piled up too high.

Hey tightt, are you the same guy that had a first gen Audi TT? That was a sweet ride! Steve and Mike are from South Jersey. Seemed like lots of fun. I'm now interested to see how my Blizzaks will handle doing what Steve was doing.

Huge! This is my second BMW in 14 months. Started with a X5d M Sport, when word of the X5M came out, I traded mine to get the new one. This may be the only BMW I will ever get. Still miss my TT, and S4, but the RS6 was my ultimate love! You still have your TT?

Unfortunately I sold the TT a few years back. I bought an S4 avant and built the engine, larger turbos, meth injection, redid the interior/suspension/brakes, and then did an OEM RS4 widebody.
