Thanks! Where did you get them from and roughly how much? I may consider to do the same setup for next winter.

I got a great deal for the rims and tires separately from 2 members on the m3/m4 Canada classifieds.. Half the price of retail

it truly is a BEAST!
I had the VRSF catless DP on my M235i and also thought it was loud enough right after. Then a few months later I got used to it and decided to get a custom catback from GT Customs lol

I didn’t get stuck but I know it was struggling a bit. To be fair, there was around 10” of snow on the ground. I thought I made the wrong decision getting Pirelli Sottozero’s but Im glad to know that people with Alpin’s are having issues as well. Lol ����

The catback removed the valves.

Took delivery of my M2 over the weekend before the snow storm hit. Still had to flatbed it though.

Didn't have any unexpected issues with the low profile Sottozeros on my ZHP. Just have to be patient off the line. it's mostly RWD, low and wide that causes traction and off-the-line and steering issues. Contrast that to our 5er wagon which is a tank in the snow and loves sideways.

Yeah, its an acquired taste. Some cars actually look pretty strange without badges. Here’s mine:
Thats a nice looking car

How does it sound under load tho? Does it still make farty sound?

Followed an HS M2C south on Dufferin from Queen yesterday afternoon (maybe same dude?). I was in my E82, we both did pretty well considering the conditions, definitely some "hip wiggles" on acceleration...but all things considered, pretty decent.

Mine is coming in the next couple weeks. Did the dealer flatbed it or did you have to pay?

Money well spent to keep it off the salty, slippery roads. I may use BMW roadside assistance to flatbed it home.

I find the worst thing is the damage the ice and snow do to the underside of the front bumper. I don't find the RWD the problem but the low front digs in in deep snow.

DDing it throughout this snow and cold! MT+Hakka’s=
The only issue I’m having in the last couple of days is battery charge getting low. No space for the M2 in the garage, so had to keep it parked outside all the time 🥺
