The first snowfall landed here in Toronto, and with the city about to enter lockdown what else is there to do but go for a distanced drive in the fresh powder with your friend?

How does it handle with those? I always thought the 265s would float on top of the snow.

Amazing photos, I hope you guys weren't cold taking them!

How does the car perform in those conditions?

Honestly it handles the snow amazingly well! Unless you find yourself in SUPER deep snow, it's perfect. It's great on cold/slushy roads as well as powder-covered pavement. And when you want to have some fun, it's great for that as well

Definitely got cold hands! Both cars are a blast to drive in the snow and are honestly perfect year-round cars.

It kills me when I hear that people don't drive these M cars rain or shine, on road trips, camping, etc. (unless of course it's a heavily modified track-only machine). These cars are meant to be driven (both have been driven across North America and back) and make ownership that much more worth it when you actually get to use them.

All that being said, if you turn off traction control, you need to have experience driving RWD in the snow to be safe. I wouldn't recommend it unless you're in a parking lot (or have a lot of experience). But when you do...oh, when you do...
