So far it looks like another mild winter again in the UK. I've been wanting to pick up a set of 17" winter wheels but as I'm down in the South West of the country at the moment and not driving many miles at present I'll probably not bother this year again.

One of the many reasons I bought an X1 was because I was fed up with getting stuck/worried during winter driving high performance RWD's. I used winter tyres on my last car and they were great but still stressful driving on snow with 340bhp under the right foot (Z4 M Coupe). I think the X1 would be unstoppable, as long as there's the ground clearance .

Still enjoying mine after 1 year 3 months. I will probably just keep this now as my daily driver until it one days expires. Can't ask for anything more really from a daily car. 4WD for winter, decent performance and economy and fairly cheap torun.
