Well it finally had to happen, got the 128i stuck . After all the snow dump we had here in London and getting around no problem this happens. Backed out of the driveway slowly today so as not to hit any pedestrians hidden behind our massive snow mounts and I get hung up on a snow mount put at end of driveway by overnight plough. I didn't even see the mount about 1 ft high or so. Car would not budge, snow under the back end is lifting the car up somewhat and rear wheels ain't getting traction, cleaned away all snow as best I could, tried to rock the car 1st and then reverse, traction control on and off, no use, she is stuck. Gonna wait for some muslce power later to push it out. I guess as long as the car has forward or backward momentum of some sort you move through stuff, but if you get hung up or go real slow almost to a stop, well you are gonna get stuck.
