X5M winterready

Hello you all,

today here in Holland was a fine winterday with a real wintertemperature from 56 degrees. Almost no wind so a perfect day to wash en clean the truck

Made the car winterready so the OEM winterrims 19" with wintertires rubber floormats in front, al the fluids filed up. so let the winter come I'm ready for it.

How is it with yuo guys in the States, some snow already or is it like with us, no snow at all , see picture.[IMG][/IMG]

Thx, they are 255/19"-something😳 Anyway factory oem-specs because when i need to use snowcains, then the 20" or bigger won't fit because the chain rubs agains the wheelarce/body ! And in wintertime 255 tires are more then enough, i not flying with 155 mph during the winter, are you ? 😳

Just to rub it in...here in Colorado I pay around $2.20 for a gallon of fuel.

That is almost 4 liters! So around $.60 / liter which is about half a euro.

When I lived in London it was over 1.5 euros a liter.

Some how I like more the finish on the winter wheels. That reminds me I need to install mines.....

Do you know if the M needs to be aligned to the winter wheels?

Has any one up north used antifreeze fuel treatment?

Thanks

Just north of 5.32 dollars a gallon basically. We have had gas that high but not lately. I'm paying 2:15-2:30 for premium which is probably about .40 a litre or something.
