was that one with the stupidly wide / low profile wheels like the M sport wheels that they all seem to have these days ?&#8626;&#8626;
if so BMW recommend much narrower high profile winter tyres and wheels (ie. The ones they use in countries that require them by law in winter)

I don't know what they were but I know it was a company car so they were probably standard BMW issue. For all its poor winter weather performance (on standard tyres) he loved it. After he lost it due to a job change he bought another.

I went to an AK kitcar open day a year or so ago. It was a bit damp but not overly cold. One of their drivers took me out in their demo car which was around 500bhp supercharged chevy ls3. He was taking it steady entering into a dual carriageway. The car started snaking and we ended up hitting a car that we was overtaking. Me being in the passenger seat was on the side that took the smack! Really me me jump :-o

I don't know if this makes it better or worse, but it was closed at the time. This was taken on the sheffield side of the highest point, and I had not seen another car (other than abandoned ones in ditches) since glossop.
