Well I thought I would post a few pictures. Today is the first time I drove the BMW in the snow with the new wheel and snow tire package. It handles pretty well. Washing it off will be a pain

I thought silver cars always look clean? 
Like the pics, thanks for sharing... and good luck getting it clean again!

Darn, I should have took pics of mine. I was in 6-8 inches of snow this past weekend in Vermont. Awesome conditions, but so tiring with all that pow.
My legs are killing me now.
