Snowed in cars

SF_DCT · 12-24-2015, 09:47 PM

So technically this isn't for my M5, but I was hoping someone may have some tips on getting a car going after being under snow for a few days. It's a 3 series wagon with xdrive - we're spending Christmas in Tahoe and it's been coming down hard. The cars outside are covered. Anything special other than warm up the car and clear the snow? Thanks

not sure if I'm stating the obvious but make sure the exhaust isn't clogged with snow and ice, if its packed enough it won't melt quick enough
