I live in Atlanta, but have family in Newark. I've had my e60 in OH 2 times this year (last week to Columbus in fact), and 1 time last year...

Can I hang?

We welcome all who take an interest in the special experiences of driving an e60 in Ohio. You need not actually reside in the Buckeye State to "hang." Those who would insult us or our great state, however, are invited to move along.

I saw a couple of jokes with flying. I only saw one insult.

Add one more post for the Buckeye State. Haven't had my 545i for all that long, but I do enjoy driving it. Just have to get all the little bugs worked out with the dealership. Go Bucks!!! Beat the Irish!!!

My Ride: 2006 530xi. Deep green with beige interior. 6 speed manual. Premium package.

Had my first Ohio weather experience today with my xi - rain/s;eet at a temp of 28 degrees - the roads were ice

Drove carefully home but when I got in our neighborhood at 6am - and no one else ther I decided to see how well the xi does

and it does great - floor it, took corners to fast and tried to break it loose and no dice - up hill driveway covered with ice and went up without a hitch

there is NO WAY a rear wheel drive could have done this

But for stopping the old rules still apply

My Ohio weather experience in my 545i is exactly the oposite of yours dgjk. On snow and ice covered roads, my rear end was all over the place. I don't even want to think about fast corners or uphill driveways. To be expected with the set up and tires that I have. Good thing I've got a 4wheel drive Jeep for the winter!

Here's my contribution to this thread but may I ask why are you guys talking about catching up to the Singapore thread when we (the Hong Kong thread) is still cataching up. Don't you think that's one step ahead of yourself.

Well looks like no one know the Hong Kong thread existed, good luck catching up to the Singapore thread though. I don't even know if our thread will get close to the Singapore thread.

We in NE Ohio are always talking about catching up tp the rest of the world and "next year" - especially in our sports teams - see Cleveland Browns, Cleveland Indians, and Cleveland Cavaliers (though the Cavs may do something this year!)
