What snow chains are best for a BMW X5?
I’m headed out to do some skiing next week, and I’ll be driving through some areas that require you to carry snow chains in your vehicle. I’ve heard mixed things about what snow chains are or aren’t okay for BMWs, and I don’t want to do anything that would damage my car or void my warranty. Can you tell me what kind of snow chains are best for a BMW X5?

You’re smart to be cautious about what kind of snow chains you use, as nobody wants a damaged Bimmer or a voided warranty! To be on the safe side, the best kind of snow chains for a
BMW X5
are ones that are made and sold by BMW. BMW is indeed a little fussy as to what models and tire sizes snow chains are supported on, so it’s best to consult with experts at your local dealership. There are about half a dozen different kinds of BMW snow chains, and they can help you find the right ones for your X5.
BMW snow chains cost a few hundred dollars, but it’s worth it to make sure you’re safe in the snow, especially if you’re not experienced with winter driving.
