I drive this car every day, and I have never, never gotten this to happen to the car. Living in Norway I have tried my share of bad conditions, I even pulled a VW van with a trailer up a hill on ice, on stud free wintertires. I call bug in the ESP, or some insane "theoretical" loop-hole that some BMW nut found. In real life, X-drive does'nt stand a chanse. I drove with a friend of mine who has an X5 (I don't know anything about BMW...is the X5 4x4 called x-drive?) and he struggeled more over the Haukeli mountains than I did. I crossed the pass 35 minutes faster than him. (1hr 30min total for me)
