    Low range might help, but honestly if you had more power it wouldn't be a problem. Are you sure it is running right? I don't think I'd have the same issue in my sports diesel E70. Maybe it's the difference between the diesel and petrol models.

    I am astounded that that doesn't have low range. Gosh when you compare that to a 99 through 04 Land Rover Discovery series 2 or even a Range Rover P38 it's amazing that BMW even decided to release it and call it a four-wheel drive SUV first of all the Land Rovers both having solid axles at the time with lots of articulation but having low range and a center locking differential since it's normally AWD a manual mode for low range so that you can crawl around in second third or fourth as a torque reduction because first gear in low range is inappropriate for mud and Sandy conditions plus the traction control in the Land Rover is amazing you don't even need a Locker on that kind of stuff. I feel like that generation of disco and Range Rover falls in the category of if you know you know. I don't even see a lot of or first. Knowing a lot of what those generations of Land Rover actually offer make them pretty capable stopping and going in sand with that reduced torque was amazing. Anyways I just expected more out of BMW. The Mercedes G Wagon is super underrated at least in this country LOL kind of makes me sick when I see every single one with low profile tires knowing that it has solid portal axles traction control and triple lockers . But that's a rant for another day
