BBC weather website is suggesting lots of snow due from Friday depending where you are. For me in basingrad it's suggested snow from 8am Friday to 9pm Saturday! Blizzard conditions, up to 10-15cm I saw this morning.
If it happens there is gonna be a few beemers in ditches, stuck at the bottom of hills and generally floundering about like Louis Spence on speed
FIRE UP THE QUATTRO!

My mate has a 320 and he's already just given up with it... wants his old Clio back, that thing was unstoppable in the snow!

When you see the news reports on telly of somewhere with heavy snow and abandoned cars, it's always Beemers in the ditch or sliding in slow motion sideways down the street
My 320 Touring's bloody useless in snow, though I fitted a set of winter tyres last year and it's a whole lot better. Still not great though

one reason why it'll be sold in the spring.

I see an abandoned BMW on Monday,and we had only had a sprinkling of snow possibly broke down .but was at the bottom of a locally known steep hill which as soon as the weather turns is a nightmare to get up..I have owned a bimmer and they are awful at this time of the year..

My old Z4 coupe was a real handful pre RS4.
Two bags of sand in the boot helped quite a bit but at the end of the day, when that back end went I was more a passenger than a driver!
Avis got good business from me those two winters...

My Beemer is sat on my drive and won't be going anywhere soon! The RS6 on the other hand is fuelled up

Haha I went out specially Sunday night to fill up in case I needed it all this week. I seldom use the quattro for work (once a month, maybe twice if I go straight to the MK meet from the office) but this week its been superb in the ice and snow. It really does make this kind of weather easy, and with the V8 it warms up super quick too!

My little Ibiza is fun on ice. A different kind of fun that requires gloves and down jackets. Back into the RS4 tomorrow. Can't wait!
