Calm before the Winter Storm
Took this pic this morning as I got into work. Snowed an inch over night here in DC. First snow of the winter. They are saying that we are going to get dumped with 12 to 20 inches starting tomorrow and lasting through the weekend. I'm thinking I might do a photoshoot or shoot a new video in the snow. We'll see.

Nice! I love to see people daily drive their beasts. Cars are meant to be driven. Stay safe. I am up in NYC and we are expecting the same.

Michelin Pilot Alpins FTW dude! Although the DCT software doesn't really like the traction that the tires provide and gets confused sometimes. I also clicked over 62,000 miles last weekend.

That's awesome man. I only have a 535 M Sport but have been lurking more and more in the M5 forums as I am thinking this might be my "next stop" on the BMW train. I run Bridgestone Blizzaks on my OEM 19's and they have been solid for me as well.

Oh and I also might have to replace my battery soon. The cold weather is really affecting the charge holding capacitance on it and it seems like no matter how much I drive it, the battery drains in this weather. Plus the battery is 3 and 1/2 years old at this point, probably time for a change anyways.

Check for that battery SIB - I think they were updating from 90 to 105 mAh for only 2014 and up but if you can persuade the dealership for a replacement then bonus savings. Not sure if your have extended warranty - worth a check.

Sounds like a lot of fun, were only projected to get 6" in CT. Hey, can you put chains on an M5? Are they even legal? Now that would be some serious fun.

Dudes, been snowing now for 24 hours straight. Over 2 feet of snow here. Unfortunately, I think the snow is too much to even attempt to take the M5 to this open lot right next to my house. Lol! We'll see how things go tomorrow. It really is one of the worst blizzards I have been in.

So I have a 328xi loaner and took it out in about a foot and a half of snow and it was a blast. It was a blast trying to get it sideways. Be safe out there.
