Most M5 owners are too busy driving their car.. they won't have the time to visit the forums..

You are absolutely right, if it wasn?t for this boring business trip :thumbsdown: My car is probably sitting in 30 cm of snow at the airport
just waiting for me to warm it up

Cidair , how on earth will you drive this car? i got taken for a ride in bansko (mountain resort) with an m5 with 17` alloys with winter tyres, and it was UNCONTROLLABLE. we had to go out and push the car , and that was only with 10cm of snow... I swear the DSC light burned off, it was constantly on

I?m a little nervous for the 35 min ( normal conditions = high speed ) drive from the airport to my house. Today will be the first real winter/snow test of the M5 and the Pirellis

Lowered car and 30 cm of snow - perfect combination........ NOT!
Got stuck in the snow ( after brushing and deicing the car for 20 min ) after 5 m
A nice guy with a tractor saw me and plowed a small road through the snow for me!
Excellent winter car with excellent snow tires.........
4WD?
