I drove 75 miles from Morris County, NJ to Westchester County, NY last year in a blizzard/state of emergency. This car is an animal in the snow with the proper tire setup.

The winter setup is going on this Saturday, in the 50 degree weather...

Watch out for your suspension though. How do you think the e30 is gonna do in the snow?

You guys won't have a single issue in the snow. I thought my car was great with all-seasons, but I can only imagine what XI is like with snow tires...

I miss everything about it except the fuel consumption. Hopefully I'll get some mods done in the meantime... How's your new tune treating you?

Ain't got no tune right now. Completely stock save for DP.

I did however get a Quaife ATB + M3 suspension bits.
Stage 2 + ER CP is going in after service in Feb.

It really needs to snow. My 2500HD Duramax is chomping at the bit for it to snow! 8' Fisher plow, this guy needs to make some money!

I'll be putting the winters on tomorrow though with my buddy. Pretty pumped about it, got all 4 tires (Blizzaks) and rims for $100.

LET'S GO SNOW!!!

Na, Highline Detailing in Fresh Meadows. I can't really justify spending $30 on a car wash...
