Winter is coming, and I'm starting to cry a little.

I love winter!
I've been on my winter setup for five weeks already and we have about 25cm / 10inches of snow and more is coming at the moment.

Temperature is around -5 to -10 celsius degrees now but I'm anxiously waiting for colder weather that helps me to keep my sapphire black car clean for a month or more...

Nothing like a clean black e60! I may garage mine on those snowy/bad/messy days and drive the project Jeep. Not comfortable or sleek, but should get the job done while my 545i sits in a warm saltless garage!

+1 My baby does not go out in the snow that's why I have a 4X4 pick up truck with excellent winter tires for!

First winter here with my E-60....... black on black of course. people make fun of me cuzz just like How I never let my car get even close to "dirty". I carry a microfiber towel in my pocket ( jk ). I prefer black due it looking amazing when wax/polished correctly. Just ordered by Bridgestone Blizzaks WS70 ( new for this year ). as much as I am excited to put them on I am not excited to brush the snow off my waxed sapphire paint job.,,,,, to all my northeast snow brothers - make the slush be with you.

I was yes, it didnt bother me one bit. I can be gentle, and NOT gentle, lol

On a serious note, I feel your pain guys, which is why I made sure not to get black when I purchased my E60.
