You should buy a snowbrush

inFamousKicks · 01-03-2015, 09:31 PM

They're 17×8″ Gunmetal MSW Type 85 wheels with 225/45/17 General Altimax Arctic tires. You can read more about them on my blog: http://my1series.com/2015/01/04/winter-wheels/

No 1 and No 4 are my favorite pics.

tritonx · 01-05-2015, 08:29 AM

This will be my fifth winter with my one.

I love it, not as fast as a 4wd on the start, but once I get it going I have no problem passing others even in the snow lane, but don't forget to hit the DTC or you are going nowhere. It drives like a snowmobile, except all in the comfort of a cabin.

and this is after a 7h hours drive in snow, slush, salt.

mike@x-ph.com · 01-05-2015, 10:19 AM

Sick!!

Worra · 01-06-2015, 11:11 AM

Hey IEDEI, I think tritonx has stolen your crown for "dirtiest winter 1er". Better step it up!

Yeineken · 01-06-2015, 11:42 AM

Still looks awesome covered in salt and mud!

RW Carbon · 01-06-2015, 11:52 AM

Nice pictures! How does she handle in the snow?

Great! Haven't had any issues at all. We're having some FREEZING tempuratures right now though. As low as -60°F windchill yesterday morning. Tomorrow we have a high of -2°F. Thank God for heated seats.

J-Spec Dan · 01-06-2015, 02:41 PM

oh man, looks like a lot of fun.

that last pic is painful to look at with the dirt and muck just sticking to your bumper.

Kinda is, I hate winter and driving the 128i in the snow is the best thing I enjoy about it. Thankfully it get to sleep in the heated garage and got cleaned the same day.

VMRWheels · 01-06-2015, 06:23 PM

Sick shots!

JuanMata · 01-17-2015, 05:07 PM

Great pics. I used to love playing in the snow when I lived in Minnesota and drove a Mazda RX8 year round. With a set of winter tires, it was a surprisingly good vehicle in the snow due to the low end torque of the rotary engine and the 50/50 front - rear weight distribution. However, it was a bitch to start after sitting outside on bitterly cold days, lol.

TWMPerformance · 01-19-2015, 01:32 PM

Loving the snow pics. As long as it's protected from the elements, you'll be able to enjoy that car for years!
