Since I got my M in late Nov '18, it's been used pretty much throughout. However, when we did have some snow here in Oxford, I decided not to take it out on the roads, as I never showed the same restraint with my Impreza P1 and I ended up with the rear arches rotting away. I don't want the same fate to happen to my M in a few years (admittedly German steel is typically of a much better quality and heavier grade than what is found with Japanese cars).

I'm lucky that my old man has been keeping on top of cleaning both the cars in the garage, but I don't want him to end up cleaning mine more times than is necessary, due to me taking it for granted and taking it out on heavily salted roads all the time.

It was basically sheet ice, if I approached that with anymore vigour that wall would be winning the fight. While we were standing there a Toyota Hilux with a trailer kissed the wall as well as some lads on trail bikes who took a tumble. Good fun though.
