I also agree with Thijs and the wintertyre stuff. But that discussion already has been going on for ages at our dutch car-enthousiast site driving-fun.com.
Goed verhaal Thijs.

This winter here in the Netherlands as far as today goes, there's no need for wintertyres at all.

Though I have a set waiting for it when it starts snowing etc.
Wintertyres in general are also a lot of marketing bs.
But when it's snowing and icey I'm happy to put them on, and you really feel the difference, but not on a rainy day and 4 degrees celsius for example...Pfff. My Brigdestone Potenzas aren't the worst tyres around in that conditions, I can assure you that.

Also the guy in Spain: Problems with the traction control...crash...the problem with the TC was: It was turned off. LOL

Cheers
Robin

PS: @Thijs This was one of the two(?) demos at BMW NL? Or was it a BMW Den Haag demo?
The one Andre and Perry drove was from BMW NL Rijswijk, that blue one, this is a dealer demo?
