My car is one happy camper in the cold

[blaster3500]

My car seems to love the cold. 90-100 degree high humid days not so much

It is happier until you reach -25 -30 Celcius. BMW's starters are not very effective in this temperature.

I can definitely hear the air a lot more into my air intake thought.

[iturbo_bmw]

lol i would hate to live where you guys live. it was only 60 degrees today and everyone's complaining about cold it is lol. but anyway my car is loving this "cold" weather but cold start does sound crazy

[miringrains]

Oh no don't get me wrong, the car runs really well.. however on start up there are so many f*cking sounds going on..

[Flan1031]

the best is after a carwash and weather is -20 to -30 includes windchill, you hear every squeek from the windows and the shocks squeek due to it being frozen. gotta love. Canada

I like my garage Even if -25 -30 Celsius outside (-22F), the garage is 10-15 Celsius (50-60F) so the car starts easily

Car loves cold weather.

Bone stock 07' manual trans. It will make all kind of racket on a monday then I jump in on tuesday and it makes NONE of these noises I really want to pile on the bolt ons (tune/intercooler/DP/charge pipe/DCI) but because of the so called 80k mile turbo warranty I'm reluctant with all this intermittent racket...so I have a garage full of suspension parts waiting on a car with no balls.

What are you waiting for? Put the fmic, tune, charge pipe and intake on the car NOW! You can easily reverse those if something comes up with your turbos. I just had mine replaced at 78k and I had a fmic on the car and all previous mentioned bolt-ons. If you are smart and take it easy you'll be fine.

We had a cold front come through Florida yesterday. It's currently 81* with a high of 82* lol. Funny part is even low 80's with low huminidty makes the car feel so much better.

[3000GT MR]

The only thing that annoys me in the cold are those stupid TPMS sensors. I bought brand new ones of the latest part number last January when i put rims and tires on and it will still have a malfunction when it hits 40. My stock ones did the same thing.

I lived in Jackson Hole for a season and drove a 99' 4runner limited (best overall car I've owned). We had a few mornings close to -35F. I'd go outside, turn the key once, the car would start right up every time with zero hesitation. I'd let er run for a few minutes and head out. My n54 has no problem with the old (faster car in the cold) but when I turn the steering wheel it creaks like an old barn door. Anyone have that?

[Rat_House]

since the temp has dropped below 45 here ive been getting a horrible sound when i start the car, sound like glass shattering or metal grinding. Just the worst high pitch squeal, that only last for a second. it almost sound like when you try to start a car thats already on. any ideas?
