I shall be priming my winter wheels this week in anticipation!

Not that I believe a single word the Daily Mail spouts.

My car is useless in the snow. Time to set my bed up at work!

Jeez. I could have written that weather report. What a load of f*cktards.

Quote
‘I expect December, January and February to experience below-average temperatures, with the heaviest snowfall occurring within the time frame of November to January across many parts of the UK.

‘Huge swirly low-pressure systems also offer the potential for widespread disruption from heavy snowfall across many parts of the UK including the South, as they clash with the predominant cold air.’
He added that Scotland and the North would face the worst weather, including possible ‘blizzard-like conditions’.

Thursday 1200 pick up BMW 330D msport with 19" wheels in Glasgow, drive immediately to pick up 4 x 18" BMW alloys and winter tyres from a bloke 150 miles way  :grin:

the golf was good in the snow I thought even with dsg, if the weather is anything like last winter I'll be buying a car cover and leaving her at home  :sad1:

I have 17" BMW winter wheels ready for my 330d as well :)

Are your 18" ones from the guy who was selling after getting rid of his M3 ??

As said by someone else above i remember it snowing last November, so i had hoped it would hold off till then this year so i could get the winter cars engine and door fixed or find another car.
I really don't want to even attempt to have to fight my way to work with the ungritted, uncleared roads because the local councils don't want to do this near their borders if im not in a lowish powered winter car with narrowish winter tyres. Im thinking i should have bought that mk3 GTI now.

Nope the guy is selling after getting rid of his 335i, have you seen the M3 ones? is there something dodgy ?

No, just saw someone on e90 post who had an M3 selling a set of 18" ones ... I saw it just after I had bought 17" ones from my BMW dealer.  I would have preferred 18".
