M5 on snow/ice
i am wondering whether somebody in the forum has already experience driving the M5 on snowy/icy roads with winter tires. how does it feel? any serious traction issues due to the large torque?
thanks, peter |

I drove my e60(s) in brutal storms and it was fine - you just need really good winter rubber. Any performance stock rubber (even my 4S) is going to be horrible in ice/snow.

just drove in the wet and some snow on my euro delivery. Just be very judicious in how you apply the throttle. It will slip and slide quite a bit and traction control light will flash often.
