Clearly everyone needs a car dedicated for snow driving only, and a second with high-performance snows (or all seasons) and it all works out just fine.
I'd love to have a dedicated winter car, but no way to do that in the city. I did that for years before the kid with the M3 and Tundra combo though. It was perfect!

It does not appear any Michelin winter tires fit the X5. Nokian R2 it is.
