Why a roof box for winter, more shovels, food and blankets ?

Haha. Although my winter pic is identical to the summer with winter tyres instead of the summers.

First proper snow here in Poland.

Got my winter boots on, 19" 664M, down from the 20" felt it would better for the snow. Slightly harsher ride but might be the winter Pirellis.



Some crisp snow last night

Yes frozen artic grey, looks fantastic but must say needs to be kept clean regularly.

The lights are not standard, you can buy from BMW some LED projectors that you can switch out with the existing lights. A simple 5min installation. They cost about £80, although there are cheaper non BMW versions out there. You have a choice of slides, the BMW logo, X drive, M Sport etc.

Ah okay, just as I thought since I had an ebay one put in my C63 some time back. So same concept sounds like. I am not looking forward to the maintenance of the *** (woah at the acronym for the colour lol) especially in our Canadian winters. But oh well, one wash a week should do the trick for the most part I suppose.
