I agree with Snypa, I had a Saab for a few weeks in the snow...was !Removed!.

The 46 never gave me a problem, showed some astras and corsas up on a steep hill one night, they were struggling, I just drove straight past tongue.gif

I drove my car in the snow last year and it was terrible - but that's not to say I didn't enjoy it! As my fellow Lutonian said, it isn't what you drive it's how you drive it.

My traction control doesn't work, so it's stuck off but it didn't feel too twitchy - it felt the same as a FWD car on ice anyway.

Ice is slippery - fact.

Got my car's snow boots to help me too! Nice and skinny BMW Bottle Top wheels!

driven 320s, 323s and a 520 in the snow, deffinatley an interesting experience, although not as much of a brown trouser moment as spinning the 520 360 degrees in the wet. Looking forward to giving the X a spin in the white stuff if we havent parted company before it arrives. Anyone used winter tyres, if so is there a great improvement as I live on the top of a big hill/ side road which dosent get gritted.

I've found the "Easter Egg" on my 7 that allows "Half-on" traction control that only applies brakes and does not restrict the engine at all !!!!

So, looking forward to the snow... Fingers crossed :P

Knew it existed, but while at Sandal BMW, I only dealt with the 5 series!

Spun my 520i 360+ in the wet going around a roundabout @ 4am. Nearly killed myself. I wanted to go ahead but the ass had different plans...

      Can a VIN decoder really help me check a car’s history?

      Hi David Welcome to the Forum A Vin decoder is a useful tool as it lets you know what was on the original cars build sheet but that only tells you what toys it should have. As its a 2021 car it will have had one MOT which hopefully is clear of any advisories, you can check recall and MOT at www.gov.uk/check-mot-history Next check all tyres are correct and in good condition odd or mismatched tyres can cause havoc with Transfer cases Transmissions and diffs. The rest is History History History plus making sure everything works as it should Good Luck Dave

      Can a VIN decoder really help me check a car’s history?

      Hey everyone, I’m thinking about buying a 2021 BMW X3 and want to make sure I’m covering all my bases before making a decision. I’ve heard about VIN decoders and how they can give you details about a car, but I’m not sure what kind of info they actually provide. Do they show anything useful, like accident history or open recalls? Or are they just for basic specs? If you’ve used one that worked well, I’d love to hear about it and any tips for getting the most out of it. Thanks so much!

      Z3 airbag wiring,

      Hi, Yes The air bag light is on. I have not heard of an emulator? It must be a device to turn the light off? The person that owned this before me was an older lady but maybe she had a mechanic do something to this? Thanks for your help, JayMe
