Yea not exclusive but definitely easier to fix on the range rover.
Left it in the heated shop (at work), took the bosses "beater" 318ti home.
I didn't get out of work early enough to avoid the snow, and attempted a few absolutely terrifying miles in some really not that bad snow...in my summer tires.
I had no traction at all, the slightest tip of the throttle and DSC was kicking in. A few sketchy situations, I couldn't even go above 20 mph.
Unfortunately I haven't been around in order for me to order my snow wheel/tire set, and it's starting to become an issue. I'll be gone on business all next week so I don't need to worry about it then, a week of work, and then I'll be gone again for xmas. So, hopefully I can hold out until I get back from xmas break. I'll be watching the weather while I am there to see if I need to order them for a Monday delivery.
I got caught in light snow accumulation with summer tires in the 325 a few years ago.
It was absolutely insane. Felt like I was driving on a skating rink. Not fun.

Replaced the air springs in the back of our X5. I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was.
I got caught in snow coming back from dc once in my dad's old Mini Cooper s works kit on summer tires. It was quite exciting to say the least. A car that weighs nothing with summers and fwd.Quote:

I was blown away with the ease in which he did this.
Anyway here's the product which I will be using on my wheels and paint....

I been using these products back when it was called The Perfect 3000. Now 3m has changed the name to Perfect-it but it is still the same great products.Quote:

No joke, I've been using that stuff for almost 30 years! That's what we used back in high school when I learned how to wet sand and buff out cars. Back then it was just 3m brown and 3m white. Then it was Finesse-it, Finesse-it II, then the 3000 series, then Perfect-it, Perfect-it II. Probably more that I've forgotten about but I've been buying it ever since. I don't get into all the new fancy stuff. This stuff works so I stick with it. I'm currently using this one that's made for dark colors
