Granted, we have had 50+ days of weather colder than 0°C and a lot of snow, but there is no excuse for this mess. 
At least I "cleaned" the rear glass while driving in Sweden last weekend...

My Ride: 2010 BMW 530i E61, alpine white, cream-beige interior, sports-auto-transmission and a lot more-
My car looks exactly like yours. In germany the weather is soo assholish!
today , surprise surprise, it snowed again, like yesterday and the days before.
the next days don't promise any weather change at all. I think winter will go on until march.
Worst thing is when the doors are frozen and you can't open them, not because of a frozen lock, the door itself is freezed up on the frame.
Please,please let the summer begin.
I want to wash and wax my car for god's sake!
When should I start to mod...

My Ride: F11 -14
Same here in southern Scandinavia. We're supposed to have rain and dull weather and instead you wake up every morning to see decimeters of snow! And it's not fun to jump into the car either, as this morning with -9 C. Leather can be veeery cold. 
And the say (at least the Danish weatherguys) that this will continue until March.

And the say (at least the Danish weatherguys) that this will continue until March. To be honest, I am getting a bit tired of this (only the cold), but nothing wrong with dry, snowy weather.
We drove from Stockholm to Uppsala and back last weekend, and all of that slime came from that short, 150km drive.
Up where Anzafin is from, they have had 75 days of freezing weather!
Anyway, it sounds like you need a HEATED garage, my friend.
My E61 is a cozy +18C every morning...
