Sweet, I'm glad to see someone that isn't afraid to subject their car to the elements.

Like a hot girl after mud wrestling. Love it. That's just the reality for about 4 months of the year here in the north. They always look beautiful again in the spring.

Yep, mine was exactly the same until it actually got slightly warm and I washed her. Which mostly certainly caused swirling, because JB swirls if you look at it the wrong way.

Nice! Too many 1ers are keeping their cars in the garage all winter. I understand keeping if off the snow (stock tires stink in the snow), but I take mine out as soon as the roads are plowed.

Needs more brake dust. Bonus points for still sporting temporary plates. (I thought they were good for 3 years, officer!)

JB135i,

JUst curious man. Is your car that Saphire Black or the Gray they offered in 08... ? It may sound funny but it's really hard to tell. The roof & the rear C-pillars are the only paint I see.

I think the title should read " acidic winter shell eating into my rims and clearcoat" she looks used and abused.
