You will really enjoy the pre-conditioning function.

It looks like you plugged it in after the snow? Wouldn't be ideal to have a lot of snow on the connection. I have seen people here putting towels around it to protect it.

How about this. And the carpets match the body. The rest of the interior is clean, except the floor mats.

Here’s a couple of quick shots after driving to and from my gym today. Actually looks cleaner than it actually is!

I have about 6” of snow in my drive and the streets were either plowed but snow packed or slushy. I really like the way she handles so far in less than ideal conditions, no slipping around corners and great traction on snow (no ice so far, not a huge fan of ice

).

Side note — all season tires really cannot handle snow well. Need dedicated winter tires for traction on snow/ice. All season performs OK on dry winter road tho.

I was a bit shocked to learn that mine came not with “all season” but with true “summer” tires...with a minimum running temperature of 7C. I live in Ontario! If you got all seasons, why wouldn’t they supply them to the Canadian market? (Of course I bought dedicated winter tires as well).

Keep them coming

X5 45e · 06-15-2021, 02:19 PM

Dirty on the inside and outside but nothing a carwash can't handle. Swirls +++.

This was last year.

I had it detailed a couple of weeks ago and since then it hasn't seen the inside of a carwash anymore. Only hand wash. Which is much easier now after ceramic coating.

After detailing and coating

speedyman · 06-15-2021, 02:29 PM

Wow, some of these pics remind me of winters in South Western PA which are nothing compared to what some areas have to deal with.
Took an early retirement 3 years ago and moved to SW FL. I could never ever go back to those god awful, grey, frozen winters that sometimes hang on until mid April.

Ametrin Metallic. So semi-individual I guess.

Thanks! Yeah it was available for a short while on the 2019 and 2020 G05 40i models until BMW started shuffling around options lists. I think it's still available for the m50i, just not the 40i.
