Who says RWD can't handle the deep snow :-)

Somerset NJ. All buildings in NJ corporate parks look the same :-)

Tire/Wheel package for the winter months (great deal on TRack):
255/45R-17 Yokohama iceGuard iG52c on 17x7.5 Monte Titano MT4 rims. Quite spongy and noisy; however work great in the snow and ice. Look forward to getting the OEM wheels back on when the weather gets warmer.

Thanks for watching!

Haha great video. Do you have an intake or anything? Like BPV sound was loud!

Car is completely stock. I was surprised at the nice BPV noise from the outside as well - it's quite a mild noise inside the car.

Few details: Limited slip diff (which I really like on this car - and clearly hard at work in the video).
Also 6 Speed manual - perfect in my opinion.

Did you build your own car through bmwusa? I was looking for the same car with lsd, manual, coral red, and other small things.

The car was custom ordered from the factory. The wait wasn't too bad and worth it to get the exact spec I wanted. The LSD (despite the high cost) really makes the car!!

OP figured it out

[QUOTE=GOLFFRR;17310982]here you go: ill post the video for you OP

Thanks for doing that!!

[ska///235i]

Heres a pic of mine

Epic! That was fun watching, and I'm sure even more fun doing...

I've been doing similar stuff in my Mini the past two days in CT. Even with FWD, the rear end will swing right out with the right amount of throttle. Snow is a great learning tool, but make sure to power wash the salt off at the first opportunity!

Which driving mode were you in?

It always feels very fast from the inside and looks slow from the outside :-)

I bet the Mini was a lot of fun also, especially when tapping on the handbrake to get the rear end out. I find snow is a great way to experience the limits of car control with minimal wear and tear - and higher safety due to the relatively slow speeds. Next, I like the wet after some rain. Finally the tire destroying dry conditions - ideally just before you are planning to change the tires anyway.

Mode: Sport + and holding traction control button down for 10 seconds or so to fully switch off the electronic helpers.

Yep, the salt is the big downside of this time of year.
