XI POWER!

rzm3 · 12-02-2007, 05:32 AM

thanks to x drive, i survived my very late nite run to McD in a snow storm.

on my way there, a Honda element lost control going down hill, hit the curb, and bent the entire front left fender...

if you live in one of the northern states, get an xi, because there will be a time when you will need it.

i have general exclaim UHP all seasons. 235/35 front 275/30 rear. car lowered on h&r street performance coil overs.

x drive - best $2000 option on a 3

tbensous · 12-02-2007, 07:30 AM

Ph0zenstone · 12-02-2007, 07:50 AM

19's for snow!! brave!!!

yamazaho · 12-02-2007, 08:00 AM

Damn someone had fun, gotta love the XI. Haha man I will never live anywhere that snows, keep my a$$ in the South....

forza1976 · 12-02-2007, 08:16 AM

How did those 19's do in the snow?

arbitrage · 12-02-2007, 09:31 AM

I've been seriously considering swapping in my i for an xi, as I live in a snowy spot! Last winter I did fine with my snow tires on my i, but sometimes I just don't like wagging my tail off the line of every icy intersection. One question to the OP....are you using snow tires in those pictures??

sinnet112 · 12-02-2007, 09:40 AM

What tires do you have on the 19x9.5 rears? I couldn't find a 265 size for all-seasons or winters for 19s.

Ru$$ell · 12-02-2007, 09:42 AM

wow,from the pics,that looks like alot of god damn snow!

MTV · 12-02-2007, 10:42 AM

I'm loving the look!

Queenskid24 · 12-02-2007, 10:59 AM

T Bone · 12-02-2007, 11:02 AM

I love how you have decorated your XI Coupe!!!

ejazbmw · 12-02-2007, 02:42 PM

hmmm I put on my rft tires today I have xi as well, but I don't think I'm going to have much luck like the op did being that most of the tread is gone, the worst part is they only have like 11000miles on them...

montreal red · 12-02-2007, 02:42 PM

thats a lot of snow !

TTG · 12-09-2007, 04:18 AM

wow.... i don't even drive my coupe in rain..... I don't think I can stand to see her in that condition.....

But overall, it is cool to see a coupe in snow
