Well, this sucks...

why? a bit of snow is super fun in rwd

or were you being sarcastic?

AZG87 · 01-05-2024, 09:45 AM

We are in the middle of a cold front here in Phoenix. Highs won't get out of the 50s which is like freezing for us but definitely won't prevent anyone from driving spiritedly.

On the contrast, I guess snow days like this make you appreciate the clear days even more?

Part sarcastic, I guess.

I have plenty of experience with a number of cars/vehicles in the snow, most RWD, but a few FWD. Just don't feel like subjecting my M2 to snow. I don't have to. The white car in the pic is my 2024 230i xDrive. And it has all season tires fitted. Right after the pic I took the 230i out for a bit of a "test" on the snow. It did fine but really the snow was not deep enough, cold enough, to present any real challenge.

Moved from Livermore CA to Benton County AR. Right about now I'd be riding my bicycle if I were in Livermore.

If you were back in Livermore CA there would probably be a bicycle tax, bicycle lane tax, and bicycle mileage tax by now.

Oh, thanks. Thought about those but figured without knowing my address the garage numbers didn't matter.

My winter beaters have been pretty nice vehicles. The 230i xDrive is probably the nicest vehicle but all have been bought new and were enjoyable vehicles to own/drive in their own right.

i guess in AR you dont really need the additional ground clearance so yeah, pretty darn cool choice for a winter car

Any of you guys driving your M2 in the snow?

We have a summer home outside of Buffalo and I’ve often thought about driving our G87 in the lake effect snow.

Thankfully I wake up shortly thereafter.

rcouchh · 01-06-2024, 12:31 AM

We've gotten lucky so far this winter and haven't gotten any snow. Been dallying the M2 in 30 degree weather though on the stock tires.

First couple mins need to be careful but after the tires heat up it's fine. Temp gauge on the dash is nice to have.
