Seriously folks, H&R Springs in a foot of snow in Chicago means your E60 just turned into a makeshift SNOW PLOW! See my fog lights? Filled! Hahaha
Fortunately it was powder snow, very lightweight. If it wasn't, boy my front end would be screwed up bad.

I'm happy to hear it was just light powdery snow, as one of our members also became a snowplow to TERRIBLE effect!

Ah yes, sadly I do not have the luxury of owning two autos.
