► BMW X6 and X5 - Testing snow (2009)

[filmftw3]

ugly ass cars. Back quarter reminds me of Pontiac Asstech.

[mihairepsol]

look at q7 on this test or lexus or acura... the best is x6 ...as we say about top gear?:| kenijkfr has right...

[littleowen212]

wtf yeah any car could do that why not but ic on all 4 wheels?

[Eliasmalak]

Best Snow Cars :

Mitsubishi Pajero/Montero (and the sport one)

Toyota Tacoma

Chevrolet Avalanche

Jeep Wrangler

Toyota FJ Cruiser

Jeep Grand Chrokee

Range Rover (Old One)

or just buy an

M1 Abrams :P

[eskon12345]

@Eliasmalak Pajero the best??? How about go try Old Nissan Patrol those are just beast's ;)

[Eliasmalak]

@eskon12345 one of the best... not :THE: best i just saw 2 x5 with snow tyres stuck while a pajero came and was able to pull em out of their situation... ;)

[eskon12345]

@Eliasmalak Hmmm...I was talking about Patrol Vs Pajero... Not Pajero Vs X5. Too bad i dont currently have engine on my patrol (Crack on Block so i took the engine out and im not really interested repairing it because it has 703tkm on the engine allready so currently trying to find another engine) Otherwise i could have done vid and show what Patrols all about. And the 1 and pretty much only reason i picked Patrol before Pajero is because the engine is way more realible

[Eliasmalak]

@eskon12345 i know that patrol is a great suv too... but listen to be able to really be good on snow u need some good tyres before comparing any suv engine to the other and u need to raise your car a few centimeters too... that would make a huge difference on handling and ability to drive through snow and ice and i mean by snow not a few centimeters of it but like 50 or 60.cm... :D

[eskon12345]

@Eliasmalak And based to you'r list i think you just took the oppinions of how other people think...Even the Old Range Rover's are better than Pajeros....And my oppinions are based to my own experience's. The patrol i currently have, ive had it for 11 years and it never have left me in the side of the road nor never to the forest either ;)

[littleowen212]

@Eliasmalak l200 warrior

[golf3tunat]

A B S IT OKEEEEE

[Snsuzele]

0:36 that is what i call A.B.S O.O

[foudas100]

Top gear always was suporting some Brands of vehicles!! British what u expect :P



[benkedoesit]

the x5 will never beat the land rover defender xd

[Dizaynspeed]

Weird test Bmw. Test that car with all wheels on ice. That car doesnt even got lock-differentials, low-high gear box even all wheel hand braker.

[halibutification]

@Dizaynspeed I agree, test a pajero you'll see difference

[Dizaynspeed]

@halibutification :)

[mzhnj54]

half ice and half ..

[eldvideoclips]

I should have said that he hates BMWs.

[eldvideoclips]

Speaking as an ex-pat Brit, because Jeremy Clarkson is a self opinionated yellow toothed old Brit who hates German cars and spreads misinformation to his gullible disciples.

He also "hates" ( i.e. is jealous of) the US by the way.

[maximusfuscus]

I am amazed of the number of complexed loosers that comment here while lacking the minimum amount of automotive or driving knowledge...I admire any car enthusiast. no matter what the brand preference is. But to say that you can do this with your 10 year old Tracker is plain stupid. It's not about the driver, it's about the complicated electronics combined with dedicated winter tires. It all comes to the laws of physics. You hate BMW while dreaming about even trying one..dream on...

[7ankss]

Ok hang on.... this is all about the driver......

A dumb ass, would not be even able to control this car

[2011bberry1]

my rollerblades cud do this

[Effecto1234]

in top gear they said that x6 is pease of shit

[chad01ify]

I'd love to work there

[Blindrider01]

any other car can do that, 1 wheel is on concrete...

[ps3bigboy320]

@Blindrider01 only if they have a good diff lock or something like that....

[FantastyckplastycK]

why the fuck couldn't jeremy clarkson drive up the grassy hill in x6?!

[maximusfuscus]

@FantastyckplastycK - Because of the summer tires that have no traction off road. It's very, very simple if you have any idea about cars. Put Geolander tires on the X6 and it performs the same way (or better) as any dedicated 4x4...

[FantastyckplastycK]

@maximusfuscus wrong! because clarckson hates that car and wanted to portray it as a piece of shit, its very very simple..

[togglify]

@FantastyckplastycK Bacuse the show is bought?

[IcemaniacLV]

@FantastyckplastycK it was just a show. That X6 had summer tires.

[bxallstar718]

@FantastyckplastycK because he had all four wheels on grass notice in this video only the two driver side wheels are in contact with ice not the passenger side wheels...

[plxplox94]

@FantastyckplastycK because top gear is corrupt, they lie about everything to make england look better. ever wondered why they never say something negative about the classic british cars? or ever noticed that they are in love with aston martin and jeremy alway chooses an aston martin over any other car?

[FantastyckplastycK]

@plxplox94 very true, that show has zero credibility, its just fun to watch.

[AndrewParkerTV]

@FantastyckplastycK The X6 on Top Gear had the wrong tyres. Many Discoverys are used off road so Land Rover fit a tyre that is useful for both on road and light off road work. BMW know almost all X6 owners stick to the road only, so fit a general road tyre which is no good on any form of off roading, even slight work. All that is needed is a different type of tyre fitted if you want to do a mixture. Clarkson never mentioned that as he is a Land Rover fan, so wants to make the Disco look good

[kenjikFr]

@AndrewParkerTV He was tested a Range rover classic not a Discoverys.

[AndrewParkerTV]

@kenjikFr Wrong, on Top Gear Clarkson used a brand new Land Rover Discovery with all weather tyres. The BMW X6 had summer tyres which are standard in the UK. Clarkson even admitted doing this to make the British car look better. I don't mind as i'm British lol

[kenjikFr]

@AndrewParkerTV Hey no problem man, I did know too that He compared a Discovery with a X6 or at least show them both.

Anyway, Range Rover and Bmw X6 are both amazing cars. I'd be happy to own one myself.

[AndrewParkerTV]

Hi I just did a search, the X6 is shown struggling on hills in more than 1 video, I didn't know this as I haven't seen every episode sorry :)

[emilKS94]

@FantastyckplastycK couse he used low profile summer tires... everyone know that Xdrive is realy Range Rover tech

[santamon12]

@FantastyckplastycK He was faking it. He used the E brake, clearly.

[junnman1]

@FantastyckplastycK the right tires are on pavement or they are not on solid ice

[ashystyle]

@FantastyckplastycK no winter tyres perhapse..

[renescx]

@FantastyckplastycK GB

[LeoGrofVanBorut]

they`re corrupted :DD



[Coyote3103]

@FantastyckplastycK Because this is X6M and his 2 wheels is on concrete

[kenjikFr]

@FantastyckplastycK He's a fucking nationalist who only like English car (own by indian Cies ^^).

I love Range Rover but this X6 is so nice.

[MrLowAltitude]

@FantastyckplastycK Because: Summer Tires + wet grass = No traction at all!

[GCr4ckeR]

@FantastyckplastycK very simple, the two left tires are on snow and the two right are on a bit wet asphalt so u could climb there with any 4x4 car u would choose , like a audi or lamborghini or whatever so the right tires would grip easily on the road

[TheLaimer]

@GCr4ckeR

What you need are lockers, you can maybe climb that hill with a 2WD if it has a lock differential, but not with an AWD car without lockers, because the left wheels would just spin...

[GCr4ckeR]

@TheLaimer exactly what i was talking about u need only a locked differential so that the left tires if they spin the right ones go with them... thnx for the further explanation

[KoozaVolvo855Awd]

Why cant you people understand, they are not playing around this is their job. They test what happens when you comes to a situation when the traction is lost, i would not buy a car that didn't run trough thease tests. Imagine how a car not tested in thease ways would drive on snow and ice.

(exuse my english, i come from sweden where they filmed this video)

[tinomacedonia]

at 0:33 he was trying to go up but he couldnt !

[1dcramo]

Gay

[Fabi7SuperStar]

V8 *-*

[Gabbaknight]

Haters gonna hate...

[therealJQB321]

I like X5 more :)

[paparazzizi]

where can i buy those roof- lights?

[iainthornton]

lol they're doing ok, but they have snow tyres, pretty much any cheap hatchback would be just as good.....what if you don't have snow tyres? well personal experience tells me a Corsa does better than a BMW X5 or Audi Q7. In our family the BMWs and Audis we've had become absolutely useless as soon as snow hits

[acmabby004]

this is a fucking trick. a wheel is in ice and other is on road :A

[Dirtlooter]

Pls watch Top gear people!

[kcuskcid]

SCAT PLAY WAS MORE FUN THAN THIS

[newjerseynfd]

In all honesty, this makes me NOT to want and buy a BMW - I live in the city, and it snows ALOT...what makes you think I want to go drift around town and crash into a parked car or a building -__- look, I feel that BMW should target the right details, I know people are lookign for fun, but i want something that can do the job right

[33nos33]

i can do also this test whit my honda civic...powerslide in the snow...go up to the hill whit only 2 wheel on the snow...usless test.

if you want the real test..watch top gear bmw x6..it's..a bit different

[robbc18]

You know older subarus can do this. A lot of companies, even audi's quattro couldn't match the subaru's awd system, but now they're all catching up. I still think subaru will still do a little better, cause their's is symmetrical.

[Evgeny441]

needs some music

[sebastianvedia12345]

only on side of the cars tires are actually on ice.... i could do this in reverse with a 94 corolla

[onefout]

why should you drift a x6 or x5 buy a sportscar if you want to drift!

[Noodllezzz]

arkhipone.narod2.ru - BMW X5 and X6 - клуб bmw отличный сайт

[d0gyface]

this is kinda bullshit, i got stuck with my x6 on wet grass :P

[ThisMakesMeThink]

@d0gyface need better tires ;)

[alion22]

they are having good time :D

[kamov23]

Just a question, An x6 comes factory installed with thin sports tires, and large rims, correct? the tires shown in this video are thick, meaning they are snow tires. Because they are thick rimed, does this also mean you need smaller rims so the tire fits in the wheel well? Seems odd that you need to keep four tires and rims in reserve just for winter.......

[111thomas111]

m3 drivers have no friends

[bmwpro66]

why dont try BMW X1 2011 i dont know crash safety too but acura mdx is still better and syalcin123 is mean he is a dip shit

[josito194]

these are the .50i or the M versions (i think M because of the pipes) , so more than 400hp...try it with 30d, 35d or 35i and you will see the real result

[kararverildi]

not yet..

[mudpluga]

now try it up that hill with all 4 wheels on the ice, see what happens then!!!!!!

[krulkntrdction]

@mudpluga I agree. I bet it will not make it up with all 4 on ice.

[335E21]

@mudpluga happens what it will happen to any other car

[syalcin123]

test on like acura ice not snow

[xiaotheman]

x6's sooo ugly

[edulitto1]

nice grip!

[cocooreo100]

thats not all ice half of it's a normal road.

[noleaf1233]

Jeremy from top gear mistakes for x6 handling.

[tylynsky]

what an idiot made that "test"? one pair of wheels on black, and hes still spinnin` his second. LOL

[Guitarnoob99]

oooooooooook if in this video X6 went so whel, why on TOP GEAR it looked like it was strugling all the time....i think jeremy clarcson just hates BMW thats why he showe it that bad, because here i can clearly see that X6 is as good as land rover or JEEP

[kulifrunsen]

only 2 wheels on the ice?? come on... any car can do that even a geo metro hahah

[samygutierrez]

Ohhhhh Come on, this CAR HAVE WINTER TIRES.....THAT'S THE REASON......MY CAR DO THAT TOO..... And IT IS A CHEVROLET MALIBU...2000

[Littleacid95]

@chugiakman u r so dumb if u rather get a volvo? big difference... a volvo vs bmw...? bmw is the ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE for a reason

[AboveTheInfluence9]

X6 is a beast!!

[adakar83]

@AboveTheInfluence9

that is IDIOT car. Also like X6 and X3

[AboveTheInfluence9]

@adakar83 bmw X6 is idiot car? O_o

[venkatesh217]

hahaha.!!! wer is the hill decent control?

[chazzak4]

they are both m cars

[MrDestructorX]

yeah get a girl with ur 10 year old whatever it is! BMW Bayerishe Motor Werke is POWER and ELEGANCE! X5 the best!

[chugiakman]

buy jeep products, Volvo my choice over these two.

[s1mm3g]

gawd.. that is so fail.. it dipends on the tiers to

[sancez06]

it is şahin

[wesleysuperman]

This is an impressive test for traction control, and differential locks (Electronic center coupling in the BMW's case) but, its not that impressive anymore. pretty sure A kia could do this now. Leave a bmw on the tar.

[draven3907]

look at my x6 the snow

[mad2maxovi]

2 wheels are on asphalt, idiot !

[pocxoela17]

russian vina goes better in snow than bmw x6

[upinflamezzz]

There's no ice on the right side.

[johnnydepp51]

BMW X6 is a nasty car!

[gagithemacboy]

i wanna go with my xterra to that place :(

[SUPERBAD119]

the X6 was not designed for offroad, thats why its caled a sav not suv

[MrKiR0]

somebody gets to have a lot of fun lol

[matt4436]

"ice climbing" why only left part was cover by ice cos they both crap off road

[airbuscrazy]

can you even see out the back of the X6?!?! that's the smallest and shallowest read window ive ever seen!

[E90PAT]

someone remind me of the time i have ever came across a road tht is half frozen... thats right NEVER!

[beeftothetaco123]

4:40 Was Sweeeet!

[theblackcrowe2003]

Big deal, I can do all this in my 10 year old Tracker.

[SUPERBAD119]

@theblackcrowe2003 the difference your tracker is not worth my money

[deangerrard]

@theblackcrowe2003 - you wanna a medal or a chest to put it on? Why mock? What is your point? That you want one but cant afford one?

[Volvoforlife08]

@theblackcrowe2003 Yes but would you bring your kids to school in a tractor? or do the shopping in a tractor? or go to church in your tractor?

[theblackcrowe2003]

@Volvoforlife08 I was referring to my Chevy Tracker, not a tractor, which I don't own anymore.

[tauheke]

@theblackcrowe2003. LOL, my 1989 Saab 900i hatch and 89' Volvo 240 Gl Wagon will do that too... !

[danielalien]

@theblackcrowe2003 Ooooo, big deal, I can do this on foot!

[j69d]

can i have your job?

[MonkPT]

fail test because you dont have snow/ice on both sides of the car so it'll grip and compensate in the side thats clear of snow/ice...

[kavakava1234]

@MonkPT Fail comment, y-Split tests are some kind of worst case scenario for AWD cars. An AWD with no Diff-lock between the wheels or/and no Centerdifflock cannot manage this. This scenario happens very often.

[Russisretard]

lol even normal front wheel car would go there even easier than x6.. x6 is just fancy suv not offroad car.. ! Deal with it

[SkudAlpha]

where did they make this snow test ?

[alsakkaf88]

The biggest mistake BMW ever made, was this dumb shit of a car, its not good on road its not good off road, what the point of buying one?? id get a range rover

[zolob314]

@alsakkaf88 wud the range rover do any better on the road?

[nonameleft1]

I don't want their cars, but I want to have their job.

[traciano77]

x5m ..x6m...hm nice engine

[tobria]

I think i just orgasmed. 

[Flexfuel306]

Subaru, because of your insanely annoying youtube ads, I vow to never ever own any of your vehicles.

[kosmosleha]

that must be one of the best jobs ... to test BMWs

[muki420]

My 06 VW Touareg V8 shits on this alien in every category. 

[Locoroco0007]

@muki420 euh.... these bmw's will be much, MUCH faster then your VW...

[Dirtlooter]

Why shoot you take the X6 if you can take a bigger one: de X5?

[TDI140]

@Dirtlooter why should you take an X6 if you can take a Range rover?

[just0Alex]

@Dirtlooter AND for less money ;)

[warlockplaya]

@Dirtlooter mabye because the x6 is much better looking and much faster

[SHKnights81dr]

@Dirtlooter the x6 looks more luxurious and welcoming.. then the x5 the x5 looks like a really nice car for a soccer mom.. haah.. the x6 has more curves.. and it looks coupish...

[MrBazpoker]

These are the M versions of X5 and X6, probably equipped with performance tyres which makes this even more impressive!

[ghost1103]

is is bad for the transmission to shift into reverse like that during the skidding turn?

[Jefsky85]

Great vid, thanks!!!

[amgv12biturbo]

Put it with three wheels on ice or any surface without grip. Not necesarily uphill. See it if moves. :))

[dantegf]

Top gear already did this test, but with a real 4x4 the range rover

[Jefsky85]

@dantegf

I think Jeremy just hate the X6, because it has too much gadgets :))

[jacksparrow1412]

kkk thanks bro but

it's nothing like acura no matter what ^_^

[SuperWroclaw]

@jacksparrow1412 I'll go with a Subaru Forester. Keep in mind that Subaru was the first auto maker in the world that introduced an AWD system in 1972. Everybody else is learning from the Subaru...its AWD system is far more superior to any other auto maker...

[freedomdevil179]

@SuperWroclaw hey, the jenson FF were the 1st 4WD car produce in 1966...

[geati6783]

a car that size is only nice with a big v8 otto or a strong diesel

[YouCarPress]

@geati6783 it's right

[brunocoelhobass]

awesome!

[Wroner94]

good video!
