Didn't even bother with TR, only change was low box to drag the trannie off the bank and offroad suspension on the lane

I was kind of hoping for some snow that would challenge the D3 yesterday but as you others have said, turn the TR to Grass/Gravel/Snow and you're away, never even blinked the TC light even on steep hills. Even passed a 110 CSW that was slithering it's way up a hill, it made it but not without a battle.
The car just keeps on impressing me more and more. So far it has made light of every situation that I have thrown at it, it's just awesome. 2020 BMW X1 18d XDrive X-Line Auto

Great pics 10 8) What a day eh? Sun, Snow and Disco3 - perfect ingredients for a marvellous afternoon.
I used grass/gravel/snow for most of the day, but the car would have been fine in road mode. HDC was essential for descending the icy slope before the sun got to it. (as the Jag discovered). Pumped the suspension up on the lane, again, the car would have been fine without, but if you have the toys.........
