Buy a pack of asphalt roofing shingles and put them in the trunk. You can always use one if you get stuck on ice or snow. A bag of sand isn't as good because it absorbs moisture which promotes rusting.

Wait... On snow could be useful as well, but I'm referring to normal drive (even in summer): bends, mountains, etc. Plus less spinning at the traffic light.
And 20-30-40 Kg are just a few Kgs, not so much to affect performance.

Just get yourself a fatass girlfriend. Shove her in the back seat and off you go. Easy to do around here in Chicago. All you have to do is camp a McDonald's and eventually a porker will come rollin by staring at your E60 like its a happy meal.
A fat girl a day will keep those traction issues away
Forget buying the sandbags. You gotta go hoggin. Although I'm not quite sure how big the girls are in Italy. I can send one over for a small fee

I agree, get yourself a fatass girlfriend, but for God's sake don't put her in the back seat....SOMEONE WILL SEE HER WITH YOU IN THERE!! Put her in the trunk where the weight issue is
