Canadian Winter - Rust proofing?

For the folks that drive their 2 series over the canadian winter? Do you rust proof it with Krown or equivalent? If not what do you do?

Complete waste of money. The car is very well protected from the bottom. Krown spray might actually start the rust process by trapping moisture.

Treatments such as Krown where holes are drilled to apply the oil is pretty well certain to void the BMW rust-through warranty (even though Krown says it won’t) and will destroy the panel zinc-based coating integrity.

Not necessary on any BMW produced in the last 15 years...
