As for ground clearance I drive my car even though there is snow above bottom of my bumper, I act like a snowplow lol on some mornings when the plow didn't have time to pass. A bit of snow won't stop us Canadians  |
Because the regular snows perform worse in every other condition except snow. I guess I don't even quite understand the reasoning to use a Z4 as an only car in Canadian winters. If you use the performance winters you can pick and choose your days to drive it and then not suffer in the wet and dry.
