These vids are not really showing the same thing. On top gear it was alittle closer to real world situation, the x5 got stuck on snow from a slow speed on a incline. Not getting a running start to get up a snowy hill.  It say its a joy to drive if you know how to drive under these conditions, how many people that own these types a vehicle really know how to. Pluse most people don't  have the option of doing some drifting in a open space, I don't know about  were you live  but in Colorado you would be hard prest to find that much space in the moutians in the winter time.  Lets be real about what these really are. This vehicle is more about what I can buy, and less about what it can do. I remember watching that episode.

Does range rover or jeep show you how to drive their cars offroad.... uhm no. and I would bet you anything in the world if land rover or jeep had the same type of tires on (summer as you would put it) that their vehicles would still climb uphill regardsless. So all in all i think BMW stuffed up on both the x5 and x6 and it is just "status" cars. the thing is, Consumers dont want “professional” drivers showing you how to drive a car.

I could blast my 2 wheel drive car up the hill like that. This doesn't prove Jeremy Clarkson wrong at all. All they have used is momentum!! Where’s the standing hill start.

You just live to bother others. Just keep your negative comments to yourself.

I think that it's one of the first sign that he will finally leave this blog. Viper losts his arguments or rather what were supposed to be arguments.

Meanwhile, a Range Rover blasts up the hill with no problem. The problem with the segment though, is the Bimmer is equipped with sports tires and if you want to go up a hill with limited traction you need to turn off stability control.

And that's true for any Porsche, VW, Audi etc... At the end I imagine he just can't help but to find fault with any BMW he runs into, so I don't think highly of his BMW reviews.
