Did you drive to work today?

MA128 · 01-12-2011, 05:53 AM

Left West Andover at 4:40AM, arrived in Boston 6:00AM. I-93 wasn't plowed yet; traveled the whole way at 25MPH-30MPH. Fairly difficult visibility at times. The car (with Dunlop Wintersports) did great.

DriveHard · 01-12-2011, 08:10 AM

Long Island didnt get hit as bad... spent an hour digging out 4 cars and my driveway / walkway.. had about 8 or 9 inches... Plowed passed my street 1/2 hour before i started so i new i just had to clean up the mess he makes and off i went...

same tires as above !!!!! super stable.. super smooth ... best money a 1er can spend to still enjoy their car ......espically with dsc / dtc OFF

MikesBMW · 01-12-2011, 08:59 AM

nope, parked the 1er in the garage and im working from home today

BlackjackMulligan · 01-12-2011, 10:39 AM

Drove the C300 to work today- conditions were not good but the 4Matic got me here without a hitch.

had to drive ALL the way downstairs to the couch this morning.....WFH FTW!

m_thompson · 01-12-2011, 04:22 PM

Nope. Worked from home. The roads should be fine by tomorrow.

bimmer74 · 01-12-2011, 05:21 PM

I did drive to work but chickened out and took my wife's Subie. The 128i would have handled the conditions fine with the Blizzaks, though.

crew09 · 01-12-2011, 05:37 PM

worked from home today - although i dont know how much actual work was done

Rachel · 01-12-2011, 08:15 PM

I drove to work. 3 hours. At least I was in the comfort of the 1.

Bdh821 · 01-12-2011, 08:24 PM

Being on Long Island myself, it wasn't bad at all where I was. The CTSV still has never gotten stuck once for me! Driving from MA to Long Island on that first blizzard after Xmas was the biggest PITA. That took 8.5 hours but no accident and didn't get stuck!

I drove to work today. I took the needle to 6500 rpm today. I wonder if I have a rev limiter in my m sport setup?
I live in margaritaville, ohio. they generously salt rim the streets. I run Pirelli RFs. so far the salt has been magic. i commute through 25 mph neighborhoods about 7 miles. it's margaritaville especially with my heated front seats.

I love it- it's great in the snow but even better it's gorgeous with the AMG package when cleaned up and great to drive in the dry weather.

oh yeah, you def still have one

crew09 · 01-18-2011, 07:29 AM

who had the joy of driving in today? definitely seemed like no one bothered to salt OR plow the roads

m_thompson · 01-18-2011, 07:36 AM

Unplowed roads in Warwick, RI. About a 3" mix snow, ice, and freezing rain. I stayed off of I-95 because of accidents. My 128i with Michelin X-Ice Xi2 had absolutely no problems with the roads.

BlackjackMulligan · 01-18-2011, 09:20 AM

Today was the worst commute yet this winter for me- I think this storm took some people by surprise..
