Hey folks got caught out in this snow the other day my car had to be ditched away from my house, the rwd setup I found to be hopeless in the snow. People behind me had to keep getting out there cars to push me up the slightest gradient and were saying “not that bmw again!” So got to the point I...

After having the fear of god put into me by family and friends after buying a dreaded rear wheel drive BMW as we get snow where I live, I am happy to say that it was actually possible to drive in the snow. I also didn’t end up in a fiery ball of crumpled metal at the side of the road after...

I’ve just had another pair of Conti runflats for the front of the car to match the rear I had fitted recently. They feel great but obviously they are a summer tyre and winter is on its way. We don’t get much snow here in the midlands and in the past I have run summer tyres all year round with no...

Hello, Has anyone had experience with snow socks on a bow 220xd drive? How good are they in deep snow? Which tyres should you fit them on a drive car? Thanks

Hi all, Washed the car the other day and I usually get the pressure washer with snow foam lance out first and give the car a good covering. Then whilst it's doing its job I get my buckets and other stuff ready. I then realised I had no bloody shampoo left, usually use Maguiars gold class but...

Hi All, I am new to the Forum and I would like to thank you in advance of helping me with my enquiry. I currently own a BMW X6 3.5 Diesel, which I bought used back in November. As there is high probability I am travelling to the French Alps during March I was searching for appropriate snow...

HI, I am new to the forum and new to bmw as well. I had a Honda civic 2008 model before it. I had a drive to office on BMW 325i and it was reallly hard to manage on the snow. I had the DTC on. It would skid on roundabout and turning into a side road. Could some one give me suggestions on how...

Does anyone else find themselves cringing in embarrassment at the truly abysmal grip the e36 has in ice or snow? supercass:embarrassed:embarrassed

Hi all, Not sure if you can help and I've already read some stuff about this on other forums. Yesterday my car Emissions light came on... I had driven the car for about 45mins, parked up and then 30mins later moved to a different parking space and between getting back and moving it the...

Had the "pleasure" of driving home off night shift this morning for the first time in my 120D in the snow. The worst car I have ever driven in snow but I still love it! Luckily most people decided not to bother so I was able to give myself plenty of room from cars in front etc; Anyone else...

Since owning my E36 M43 BMW I have found a few people saying 'You wont be able to use that car in the snow' Ok so all BMW's are rear wheel drive but so are Merc's and a few others and most of these come from Germany where it snows far worse than the UK. Has anyone else received negative...
