Mostly I'll drive my X3 if there is real snow but for the past bunch of years it was always a little anxiety provoking if I took the car out and the colder weather. Is it going to be extra cold today? Is it going to possibly snow today and having one or two times tried driving summer tires in even light snow I realized what a nightmare it was so these will be a nice piece of mind for the winter this year not having to worry about coming out of work 10 hours later fearing what the weather turned out like

2nd service--- the annual one since I didnt hit the miles (you can still get the oil and filter swapped for free)

I probably should drive it more but the way I drive it purely works

You'll love those Snareman. From what you say they are the perfect choice for your situation. They will be way different than the summer version.
I don't drive my M8 in winter so I just keep on the summer use PS4's on it year round. I use them on a few other cars as well.
On my Saab I use the Michelin X-ice. An amazing tire really. My Son uses them on his car and agrees they are amazing for winter conditions. If you get snow and ice you can't go wrong. They are a little soft but seem to last pretty good anyway. They actually handle decently as well.

Just picked up my 2024 Black M8 Comp. Just had PPF, Tint (35% around. Front 70%), Ceramic inside and out, and swapped the front orange reflector. Still need to make some other small mods.

Looking forward to taking it for some long drives through VA/WV mountains as the leaves change.

As a rule I don’t like black bmw interiors but that is really nice.

Just came back from Novara Motorsports. Lowered on KW’s, satin ppf, RW Carbon Front Lip and Sides, Vorsteiner 21’s powder coated Bronze.

Not mine, but my father's but looks too good I couldn't not post it!

New 2024 individual Indianapolis Red M8 Comp, fully loaded with every box checked. Carbon pack, CCBs, bowers & wilkins, the works!

We just took delivery today at the PCD, it was fun! I was a bit surprised how limited the activities were but it was overall a good experience (free food helped)

Looks amazing IMO!

You are a brave one to park this beast under that roof

I see you are in the NY areas, how are you keeping the car this clean with the change of weather?

I like living on the edge. However it's far better than it looks in the pic. For instance, look at the lack of mineral precipitation & cleanliness of the floor below.

Indeed - I'm in New York City. I'd attribute both the iSweep IS1500 pads from r33_RGSport & the fact that Brooklyn Grey hides dirt oh so well

I made the same decision and have been very happy with the all seasons. There is quite a bit of data to support the difference are minimal between the all season and summers. I found this video in particular to be very insightful.

Hi, what size of tires do you have on your M850 and are you using spacers? If yes, what size?
