I'm coming from Jeeps and Yota pickups, so in comparison to those I don't expect much out of the X5. I havent had the chance to test it offroad yet, but I can say that I've been told by others that they do surprisingly well for being awd and not 4x4. They stuggle a little when you get opposite corners off the ground because of the highway diffs and control systems, but having DHP I'm hoping I'll be a little better off than most, but I don't plan to see too rough of terrain. This will see mostly min maint roads and trails, snow, the rare very mild water crossings. I wanted something to get to lesser traveled trail heads and camp sites.
I dont suspect any issues towing offroad. Its not a crazy lift and retains all factory components, and rear air really helps keep things level and stable.
