~~It’s worth noting that due to brilliant design decisions, the only way to put different tires on it is to replace the whole wheel.~~ edit: apparently this part was not correct, my apologies for the misinformation

That's just with AWD, not even 4x4, let alone a low range mode!

Why's he spinning the tires so much?

Do BMW drivers actually understand the concept of letting off on the gas a bit, or is that a lost art for them like turn signals and shoulder-checks?

It makes it an even better example, you must be even more stupid than a BMW driver to be stuck like that Cybertruck driver!

You've definitely answered your own question in that second sentence of yours...

You don't need low range in snow

Depends how stuck you want to get!

Higher range is actually better in snow/slippery conditions. You're less likely to over throttle and break traction. Many cars have a snowy condition button and it usually causes the car to take off in second gear and and dampens throttle input to help prevent slippage.
