Do you wear gloves when driving your 3'er?

asdflkijd · 11-15-2007, 02:28 AM

Just curious, does anyone wear gloves while driving their 3 series cuz I'm about to purchase some.. it gets really cold driving in the mornings during the winter time here in the NW,

I was looking online and found these on the BMW accessories site

Please no-one say yes to this,
extremly uncool to be wearing driving gloves

Unless you are aged 80 plus

These don't look like they will keep your hands warm...

I've got fleece gloves with leather patches on the palm and thumb. Warm and not too much of a hindrance while driving.

But I take them off as soon as the interior heats up - you just don't get the same fine steering feel through gloves.

I carry a pair of leather faced work gloves and a few pairs of blue latex gloves in the trunk for emergancies, that's it.

I may contemplate wearing thick leather gloves if I so desire to drive around in freezing cold weather with my top down, leather helmet and goggles on, and flying a big scarf Snoopy style!

Use the hairdryer to warm-up your steering wheel in the cold morning, so you don't have to wear the gloves.

Speaking of, I see way too many asian women jamming newspaper, paper towels or whatever they can find into their driver side window just to avoid the sun.

I recently saw some lady driving with gardening gloves on. Now that's classic.

MryakanFromCanada · 11-15-2007, 11:42 AM

I prefer to naturally feel the steering wheel. No gloves.

gloster · 11-15-2007, 11:44 AM

Gloves would ruin the joy I feel from driving totally naked

3onDubs · 11-15-2007, 11:47 AM

Heated steering wheel option would be nice....

BMdblU · 11-15-2007, 11:48 AM

Those gloves look pretty neat
