Mine goes to sleep for six months every year; I wouldn't dream of driving it year round here - that would be abuse....and borderline unsafe. Winter drivers are my Ram diesel 4x4 and the wife's Audi SQ8 with Michelin X-Ice's. I do wash the car and put it on a maintenance charger....that's it.

Drive everyday except when its snows. Which is rare over the past couple of years. And when it does, its gone in a week. Are Michigan winters that bad that there is no window to drive it?

[Rotherd31]

It just depends on the winter. Two years ago we had snow cover late December through almost all of Feb. Last winter just Jan and Feb. Bottom line is I have no NEED to drive it with the X3 as our second car and both being retired. Great looking man cave you have!

Well I'm only semi-retired. I'm a Professor and still have a 15 minute drive to campus 2-3 times a week. My wife is retired and drives an X-3 hybrid (she bought it right after seeing my G29). So I get to steal the X-3 when it snows.

Snows and wheels are cheaper than buying, maintaining and insuring another car. She's washed, waxed and snows installed, all ready for a Long Island winter!

LD, how about a winter driving review with your setup?

Sweet and the rims look good too.

You're setup way better than I could ever be for having more than 1 vehicle. I wouldn't drive anything 2WD here in Saskatchewan during the winter. And no more 'all season' tires either because those just aren't good enough.

I looked around A LOT for a rental with double garage and just could not find anything decently affordable. If I could, I'd most likely still have my Z4. I feel sick knowing someone else drives/owns it.

Yeah, sorry you had to sell yours. My truck was recently in the shop and I had a 2wd loner......it snowed and I had to take three runs at the hill out of my driveway. I won't drive anything other than 4wd or AWD with good winter snow tires on it in the winter here.
